From Financial to Real Options
• Option pricing: a reminder– messy and intuitive: lattices (trees)– elegant and mysterious: Black-Scholes-Merton
• Option theory in corporate finance?– managerial flexibility and projects as options– strategy as a collection of options
• Key concepts: arbitrage ideas– risk-adjusted probabilities– risk-neutral pricing

Having the Cake and Eat It, too
• Options confer contractual rights on holder:– a right to buy (sell) a fixed amount of currency at (over)
a specified time (period) in the future at a price specified today
• Insurance vs. fixed commitment:– right to buy or sell at discretion of holder
– “wait and see” security: even over time
– have an opinion while cutting off catastrophes
• Right means choice: choice means value

A Short Options Menu: Review
• Style: European or American exercisable at maturity only (e) or any time (a)
• Type: the right to buy (call) or to sell (put)– corporate: growth = call, retrenchment = put
• Underlying: – financial markets: spot or futures
– corporate finance: real asset, firm value
• Parties: buyer (holder), seller (writer)

Pricing Terminology: Review
• Three price elements:– current price of underlying asset: spot, futures, forward– strike (exercise): price at which transaction occurs– (option) premium: the option’s price itself
• Price location: at/in/out-of-the-money options– at: current spot = strike– in: option profitable if exercised immediately– out: option could not be profitably exercised
• Intrinsic value: extent to which an option is in-the-money (profit of immediate exercise)

Pricing Real Options
• How do I take into account the risk of the real options?
• Does it matter if the underlying asset is traded in financial markets?
• How do I go about implementing a real options model?
• What are the limitations of real options analysis?
1/24/2011 Real-Options Pricing © Robert B.H. Hauswald 7
Compare Projects
• The insight: all projects or assets with similar risk should have similar returns
• The challenge: find a “twin” security or project -and use its rate of return
• The alternative: use a standard equilibrium theory that relates risk to return (economics)
• The strategy: In the case of options, need to find a “replicating portfolio” that has the same risk
• The concept: no need to appeal to “no-arbitrage”
1/24/2011 Real-Options Pricing © Robert B.H. Hauswald 8
Futures Market?
• If there is a futures market for the underlying product (e.g. oil), then PV is readily computed– it is simply today’s price of the product (adjusted for a
“convenience yield”) times the volume.
• If we don’t have a futures market, we need to find the appropriate rate of return for the underlying project (the firm’s cost of capital perhaps)
– risk-neutral valuation

Implementing Real Options Analysis
• There are three different approaches to value real options:– formulaic approach (e.g. Black-Scholes)– lattice model (e.g. binomial model)– Monte-Carlo Simulation
• Formulas are easy to implement, – but they have limited applicability and are very
much black boxes – the other two approaches are more viable in
general
1/24/2011 Real-Options Pricing © Robert B.H. Hauswald 10
Price Determinants
• Current spot price, (dividend and) interest rate– futures or forward: by C&C from spot price and interest rates– foregone revenue in real option: dividend yield
• Exercise price• Time to maturity: length of period to expiration• Underlying price process: volatility• Type: European or American• A right: use probability theory to evaluate contingencies• Prerequisite: a model of the underlying asset value• Distributional assumption: the spot (forward) price’s
logarithmic change is normally distributed
1/24/2011 Real-Options Pricing © Robert B.H. Hauswald 11
Pricing European Options: BSM
– Apply the classics: modify the seminal work of Black, Scholes and Merton to calculate theoretically fair prices
– Pricing formula: call
– Put:– Interpretation: payoffs S - K and K - S weighted by
• discount factor: future strike and spot• probability of prices realizations: expected values• PCP - put-call-parity: fundamental arbitrage equation

Black-Scholes-Merton Example
• Assumes option is European - exercise only at the option’s maturity date– e.g. residual value guarantee on a machine - a put
option which can be only exercised at T.

Black-Scholes with Dividends
• Dividends are a form of “asset leakage” – if dividend are paid repeatedly, adjust B-S-M to
allow for constant proportional dividends:

Lattice Methods: Trees
• Most common is the binomial model– one up or down movement at a time– workhorse of the financial industry: pricing American options
• Solve by starting at the end and working backwards– time honored principle: dynamic programming (engineering),
backward induction
• Probabilities in the lattice have been adjusted – to reflect risk of underlying variable; discount at risk-free rate– pricing theory
• For example, an option to invest in a project

Three Period Binomial Option Pricing Example: Review
• There is no reason to stop with just two periods: generalize to three, four, …periods
• The principles are the same:– find q– construct the underlying asset value lattice working
forward– construct the option value working backward
• Find the value of a three-period at-the-money call option written on a $25 stock that can go up or down 15 percent each period when the risk-free rate is 5%

Risk-Neutral Valuation in Practice
• Use observed volatility to determine size of up and down steps and generate value lattice: fit model to observed uncertainty!
• Some more algebra yields (note continuous compounding!):

Monte-Carlo Simulation
• Some applications involve options that are “path-dependent”– their values depend on the particular path of cash flows
(not just the lattice node at some point in time)
• Compound options: options on options– feasibility study to build prototype with new technology
• Monte-Carlo simulation: somewhat similar to scenario analysis – can properly account for path probabilities and risk– works in a forward, rather than backward, fashion
1/24/2011 Real-Options Pricing © Robert B.H. Hauswald 25
Implementation Challenges
• Multiple sources of uncertainty– model the interaction of risks
• Modeling resolution of uncertainty– what is learned when: from decision to value trees
• Estimating inputs– volatility– distribution of underlying– cost of capital on underlying– “dividend yields:” lost revenue (in %)
1/24/2011 Real-Options Pricing © Robert B.H. Hauswald 26
Benefits of Option Analysis
• Plausibility check: initial outlay, PV of project, later investment(s)– given any two, back out the third
• Pricing business and financial strategy– warm and fuzzy becomes cold and hard
• Corporate finance:– why overpay? paying a premium now amounts to what?
– applications: resource extraction, growth, synergy, R&D, governance (abandonment, cash out ) options

Who is Using Real Options?
• A survey of 4000 CFOs reported that“Twenty seven percent of CFOs said that they always use real options to analyze large projects.” (Graham and Harvey, “The theory and practice of corporate finance,” Journal of Financial Economics 60, May/June 2001: 187-243 )
• Industries applying real-options analysis (no order): pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, aerospace, power generation, mineral extraction, finance, real estate, electronics, forest products, telecommunications, metallurgy, oil and gas, etc.

Binomial Real Options: Appendix
• The four most common types of real options1. The opportunity to make follow-up investments.2. The opportunity to abandon a project3. The opportunity to “wait” and invest later.4. The opportunity to vary the firm’s output or
production methods.
• Recall the relationship between active and passive NPV:Value “Real Option” = NPV with option
- NPV without option

• Dalby Airways Ltd is considering the purchase of a turboprop aeroplane for its business. – If the business fails, an option exists to sell the aeroplane for
$500,000; current value of plane is $553,000– Risk-free rate: 5%
• Given the following decision tree of possible outcomes– what is the value of the offer (i.e. the put option) and – what is the most Dalby Airways should pay for the option?
• Difference between decision tree and valuation lattice?

• Decision trees for valuing “real options” in a corporate setting cannot be practically done by hand. – Introduce binomial & B-S-M models
• Calibrate parameters to observed quantities– investment projects
– corporate strategies
– synergies from M&A or corporate cooperation
