Company X is considering an investment in a joint venture to develop high quality office blocks to be let out to blue chip corporate clients. This project has a thirty year life, and is expected to cost Company X £90m and to generate and NPV of £10m. The project manager has argued that this understates the true value of the project because the NPV of £10m ignores the option sell Company X’s share in the project back to its partner for £40m at any time during the first 10 years of the project. The standard deviation is 45%p.a., and the risk free rate is 5%p.a.
Evaluate the value of option.
How to identify it is a put option from this question?? Also why is £40m taken as Pe??
It is a put option because they have the option to sell. Put options are options to sell.
Pe is 40M because that is the amount they will receive if they exercise the option.
