Q. NPVL gt NPVS. Is L better? A. Cant say.
Need replacement chain analysis.

  • Note that Project S could be repeated after 2
    years to generate additional profits.
  • Use replacement chain to calculate extended NPVS
    to a common life.
  • Since S has a 2-year life and L has a 4-year
    life, the common life is 4 years.

What is real option analysis?
  • Real options exist when managers can influence
    the size and riskiness of a projects cash flows
    by taking different actions during the projects
    life.
  • Real option analysis incorporates typical NPV
    budgeting analysis with an analysis for
    opportunities resulting from managers decisions.

7
What are some examples of real options?
  • Investment timing options
  • Abandonment/shutdown options
  • Growth/expansion options
  • Flexibility options

8
An Illustration of Investment Timing Options
  • If we proceed with Project L, its NPV is 6,190.
    (Recall the up-front cost was 100,000 and the
    subsequent CFs were 33,500 a year for four
    years).
  • However, if we wait one year, we will find out
    some additional information regarding output
    prices and the cash flows from Project L.

9
Investment Timing (Continued)
  • If we wait, there is a 50 chance the subsequent
    CFs will be 43,500 a year, and a 50 chance the
    subsequent CFs will be 23,500 a year.
  • If we wait, the up-front cost will remain at
    100,000.

Years
At k 10, the NPV at t 1 is 37,889, if CFs
are 43,500 per year, or -25,508, if CFs are
23,500 per year, in which case the firm would
not proceed with the project.
11
Should we wait or proceed?
  • If we proceed today, NPV 6,190.
  • If we wait one year, Expected NPV at t 1 is
    0.5(37,889) 0.5(0) 18,944.58, which is
    worth 18,944.58/(1.10) 17,222.34 in todays
    dollars (assuming a 10 discount rate).
  • Therefore, it makes sense to wait.

12
Issues to Consider
  • Whats the appropriate discount rate?
  • Note that increased volatility makes the option
    to delay more attractive.
  • If instead, there was a 50 chance the subsequent
    CFs will be 53,500 a year, and a 50 chance the
    subse-quent CFs will be 13,500 a year, expected
    NPV next year (if we delay) would be

0.5(69,588) 0.5(0) 34,794 gt 18,944.57.
13
Factors to Consider When Deciding When to Invest
  • Delaying the project means that cash flows come
    later rather than sooner.
  • It might make sense to proceed today if there are
    important advantages to being the first
    competitor to enter a market.
  • Waiting may allow you to take advantage of
    changing conditions.

14
Abandonment/Shutdown Option
  • Project Y has an initial, up-front cost of
    200,000, at t 0. The project is expected to
    produce after-tax net cash flows of 80,000 for
    the next three years.
  • At a 10 discount rate, what is Project Ys NPV?

15
Abandonment/Shutdown (continued)
  • Project Ys A-T net cash flows depend critically
    upon customer acceptance of the product.
  • There is a 60probability that the product will
    be wildly successful and produce A-T net cash
    flows of 150,000, and a 40 chance it will
    produce annual A-T cash flow of -25,000.

17
Abandonment/Shutdown (continued)
  • Company does not have the option to delay the
    project.
  • Company may abandon the project after a year, if
    the customer has not adopted the product.
  • If the project is abandoned, there will be no
    operating costs incurred nor cash inflows
    received after the first year.

19
Is it reasonable to assume that the abandonment
option does not affect the cost of capital?
No, it is not reasonable to assume that the
abandonment option has no effect on the cost of
capital. The abandonment option reduces risk,
and therefore reduces the cost of capital.
20
Growth Option
  • Project Z has an initial up-front cost of
    500,000.
  • The project is expected to produce A-T cash
    inflows of 100,000 at the end of each of the
    next five years. Since the project carries a 12
    cost of capital, it clearly has a negative NPV.
  • There is a 10 chance the project will lead to
    subsequent opportunities that have an NPV of
    3,000,000 at t 5, and a 90 chance of an NPV
    of -1,000,000 at t 5.

At k 12, NPV of top branch (w / 10 prob.)
1,562,758.19. NPV of bottom branch (w / 90
prob.) - 139,522.38.
22
NPV with the Growth Option (contd)
  • If it turns out that the project has future
    opportunities with a negative NPV, the company
    would choose not to pursue them.
  • Therefore, the NPV of the bottom branch should
    include only the -500,000 initial outlay and
    the 100,000 annual cash flows, which lead to an
    NPV of -139,522.38.

23
NPV with the Growth Option (contd)
  • Thus, the expected value of this project should
    be
  • NPV 0.1(1,562,758) 0.9(-139,522)
  • 30,706.

Flexibility Options
Flexibility options exist when its worth
spending money today, which enables you to
maintain flexibility down the road.
