Introduction
Introduction
• Real options are options to buy, sell or exchange real assets
on possibly favorable terms.
• Most firms do not explicitly use the real option concept when
valuing investments. Nevertheless, firms do take into account
management flexibility (wait for further information, adapt the
project to new relevant information or even abandon the
project).
• Management has a number of options to exercise and avoid
future unfavorable developments or take advantage of the
favorable ones.

” Similar to options on financial securities real
options involve discretionary decisions or rights , with
no obligations to acquire or exchange a asset for a
specified alternative price” - Trigeorgis [1996]

Real Option Analogy with Financial Options
Classifications:
Triantis [1999] mentions three
real option categories depending
on the project’s nature :
Trigeorgis [1996] basic types of real
options:
a) options to defer,
a) Options to grow
b) options to contract /expand
b) Contraction options
c) option to abandon for salvage value,
c) Flexibility Options
d) option to switch use.
Trigeorgis [1996] ranks real options depending on
exclusiveness of ownership into :
a) proprietary options
b) shared options

Real Option Analogy with Financial Options
Option to defer an investment
The option to defer is a call option on
the project gross present value. The
exercise price that has to be paid is
the project cost.

Type of call & some possible valuation methods

American call:
Real option
The management makes the decision to invest only at the end of
certain period. At the end of the period he can either not invest or
implement the project right away and start receiving the cash-flows.
Competitors entrance influence over the projects value can be taken
into account.
The management can make the decision to invest at any moment,
- no discontinuous dividends present: Black, Scholes & during a certain period. The moment he makes the decision to invest
Merton (1973-75)
the project is implemented and cash-flows start running right away.

Real Option Analogy with Financial Options
Real Option Analogy to Financial Options
Financial option valuation techniques can be used in valuing real
options .Yet, financial options models assumptions have to be met.
A set of assumptions under which realoptions can be “financial option based” valued, Lander[1998]:
1) there is only one real option modeled and valued at a time
2) there is only one source of uncertainty
3) there is an approximation for the process governing the value of the
underlying
4) “markets are complete, the firm is risk-neutral or risk is fully diversifiable” and
adjustments can be made in order to get to work into a risk- neutral world
5) cash outflows/inflows (ex. dividends) are known and constant, can be
determined from market prices or are a proportion of the value of the underlying
6) costs are known & there are no foregone earnings

1) Assumptions regarding the project’s value
geometric Brownian motion: dS=Sdt +dz
jump model Wilner [1995]: dS=Sdt +(-)SdN
dN=1 w.p. dt or 0 w.p. 1-dt
a mix of jump and geometric Brownian motion: Trigeorgis [1996]
dS=(-d)Sdt +(k-1)dN+dz

Real Options Analogy with Financial Options
2) Assumptions regarding asset tradability and riskneutral valuation
• Any derivative on an asset that could be ”something as far
removed from financial markets as the temperature from the center
of New Orleans “ can be valued in a risk neutral world - Hull [2000]
• When converting into a risk neutral world a dividend like
adjustment has to be made. The dividend equals the difference
between the return of a similar traded asset and the nontraded
asset return.

3. Case study. DNT- Dynamic Network Technologies
DNT is one of the top 3 Internet Service Providers in Romania.
Recently DNT has merged with Astral TV, a cable TV company. At the
end of March
2001 Astral TV registered
approximately 700 000
subscribers.
Situation: starting from 2003, DNT is interested in introducing a new
residential telephony service that uses voice over IP.
Problem:
What is the value of the project today ?

3. Case study. DNT- Dynamic Network Technologies
Assumptions:
1 risk neutrality adjustments for the nontraded asset are not needed
2 until 2003 the number of subscribers at the beginning is assumed to
follow a geometric Brownian motion
3 The embedded option is a proprietary one
4 once a subscriber has bought the product it is assumed that he dose
not give it up. A constant sum of discounted cash flows can be
calculated per subscriber
5 the month to month growth rates of the number of subscribers
remain the same (but are not equal to each other) under all possible
states of nature, once the project has been undertaken

Further research to be made in order to better account for the following:

2. the growth path chosen,
3.in real life the cash flows per subscriber do change in time and should
be closer to a market value rather than the number of subscribers is,

Conclusions
Conclusions
One of the two objectives of the paper has been to shortly present the real
options concept, the analogies with financial options and how real options
can actually be priced.
The conclusion is that once a real option has been found, a model has to be
chosen and then make the required adjustments so as the model assumptions
are fulfilled. The most permissive way (as far as the assumptions are
concerned) to value a real option seems to be, up to now, the method of
Kulatilaka [1988] and Trigeorgis [1991&1996].
The second objective of the paper has been attempting to value an Internet
telephony project using the real options concept. The project has been valued as
an option to defer. The expanded net present value has been calculated yet,
results have been obtained under a number of powerful assumptions.
