Hi everyone,
Does someone understand how to determine Pe (exercise price)and Pa (current price) for BSOP model when it is about “real” option like in Q4 past paper June 2011? I can’t understand why they take 35 as exercise price and 38,75 as current price.
Thank youDecember 2, 2011 at 4:29 pm #90478Hi
In valuing investments (or real options) Pe is the the estimated cost of the investment, in this case $35m and Pa is the present value of the net receipts (i.e positive cash flows) which is the $38.75.June 4, 2012 at 12:44 pm #90479AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0

So how do you get $35m as Pe? Can I consider Pe being the PV of the estimated cost of the investment(7+6.31+28.42=41.71m)?
