The
Real Option Valuation template encompasses a suite of option pricing
tools to quantify the embedded strategic value for a range of proposed
or existing investment scenarios. Traditional discounted cash flow
investment analysis will only accept an investment if the returns
on the project exceed the hurdle rate. While this is a worthwhile
exercise, it fails to consider the myriad of strategic options that
are associated with many investments. This template provides the
ability to identify what options might exist in your proposal and
the tools to estimate the quantification of them.
Key features of
the Real Option Valuation template include:
Ease and flexibility of input, with embedded help prompts.
Informative 'Quick Start' menu for choosing the correct tool
for the situation.
Modified Black Scholes models to value the options to delay,
expand, or abandon investments.
Automatic binomial 'tree' builder model to evaluate complex
strategic options with multiple stages.
Nash equilibrium Game Theory model to evaluate market entry
strategies in a competitive environment.
Ability to predefine historical investment and/or industry
risk profiles to utilize across models.
