(13.1) Real options Answer: a EASY Real options exist when managers have the opportunity, after a project has been implemented, to make operating changes in response to changed conditions that modify the project's cash flows. a. True b. False (13.1) Real options Answer: b EASY Real options are options to buy real assets, like stocks, rather than interest-bearing assets, like bonds. a. True b. False (13.1) Real options Answer: a EASY The option to abandon a project is a real option, but a call option on a stock is not a real option. a. True b. False (13.2) Real options Answer: b EASY Real options are most valuable when the underlying source of risk is very low. a. True b. False (13.2) Real options Answer: b EASY Real options affect the size, but not the risk, of a project's expected cash flows. a. True b. False 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . Chapter 13: Real Options True/False Page 187 Multiple Choice: Conceptual Easy: 6 . (13.2) Investment timing option Answer: e EASY Commodore Corporation is deciding whether to invest in a project today or to postpone the decision until next year. The project has a positive expected NPV, but its cash flows could be less than expected, in which case the NPV could be negative. No competitors are likely to invest in a similar project if Commodore decides to wait. Which of the following statements best describes the issues that Commodore faces when considering this investment timing option? a. The investment timing option does not affect the cash flows and will therefore have no impact on the project's risk. b. The more uncertainty about the future cash flows, the more logical it is for Commodore to go ahead with this project today. c. Since the project has a positive expected NPV today, this means that its expected NPV will be even higher if it chooses to wait a year. d. Since the project has a positive expected NPV today, this means that it should be accepted in order to lock in that NPV. e. Waiting would probably reduce the project's risk. (Comp: 13.1-13.4) Real options Answer: c EASY Which one of the following is an example of a "flexibility" option? a. A company has an option to invest in a project today or to wait a year. b. A company has an option to close down an operation if it turns out to be unprofitable. c. A company agrees to pay more to build a plant in order to be able to change the plant's inputs and/or outputs at a later date if conditions change. d. A company invests in a project today to gain knowledge that may enable it to expand into different markets at a later date. e. A company invests in a jet aircraft so that its CEO, who must travel frequently, can arrive for distant meetings feeling less tired than if he had to fly commercial. 7 .

(13.2) Real options Which of the following is most CORRECT? a. Real options change the size, but not the risk, of projects' expected cash flows. b. Real options change the risk, but not the size, of projects' expected cash flows. c. Real options are likely to reduce the cost of capital that should be used to discount a project's expected cash flows. d. Very few projects actually have real options. e. Real options are less valuable when there is a lot of uncertainty about the true values future sales and costs. (13.4) Real options Answer: a MEDIUM Lighthouse Corporation uses the NPV method for selecting projects, and it does a reasonably good job of estimating projects' sales and costs. However, it never considers real options that might be associated with projects. Which of the following statements is most likely to describe its

situation? a. Its estimated capital budget is probably too small, because projects' NPVs are often larger when real options are taken into account. b. Its estimated capital budget is probably too large due to its failure to consider abandonment and growth options. c. Failing to consider abandonment and flexibility options probably makes the optimal capital budget too large, but failing to consider growth and timing options probably makes the optimal capital budget too small, so it is unclear what impact not considering real options has on the overall capital budget. d. Failing to consider abandonment and flexibility options probably makes the optimal capital budget too small, but failing to consider growth and timing options probably makes the optimal capital budget too large, so it is unclear what impact not considering real options has on the overall capital budget. e. Real options should not have any effect on the size of the optimal capital budget. 11 .

(13.3) Decision tree: expected NPV Answer: d MEDIUM Texas Wildcatters Inc. (TWI) is in the business of finding and developing oil properties, and then selling the successful ones to major oil refining companies. TWI is now considering a new potential field, and its geologists have developed the following data, in thousands of dollars. t = 0. A $400 feasibility study would be conducted at t = 0. The results of this study would determine if the company should commence drilling operations or make no further investment and abandon the project. t = 1. If the feasibility study indicates good potential, the firm would spend $1,000 at t = 1 to drill exploratory wells. The best estimate is that there is an 80% probability that the exploratory wells would indicate good potential and thus that further work would be done, and a 20% probability that the outlook would look bad and the project would be abandoned. t = 2. If the exploratory wells test positive, TWI would go ahead and spend $10,000 to obtain an accurate estimate of the amount of oil in the field at t = 2. The best estimate now is that there is a 60% probability that the results would be very good and a 40% probability that results would be poor and the field would be abandoned. t = 3. If the full drilling program is carried out, there is a 50% probability of finding a lot of oil and receiving a $25,000 cash inflow at t = 3, and a 50% probability of finding less oil and then only receiving a $10,000 inflow. Since the project is considered to be quite risky, a 20% cost of capital is used. What is the project's expected NPV, in thousands of dollars? a. b. c. d. e. $336.15 $373.50 $415.00 $461.11 $507.22 13 . (13.3) Decision tree: SD and CV Answer: c MEDIUM In the previous problem you were asked to find the expected NPV of a project TWI is considering. Use the same data to calculate the project's coefficient of variation. (Hint: Use the expected NPV as found in Problem 12.) a. b. c. d. e. 5.87 6.52 7.25 7.97 8.77 Problems Chapter 13: Real Options Page 190 (Problems 14 and 15 must be kept together. 14 Use 15 only if 14 is also used.) . (13.3) Investment timing option, decision trees Answer: d MEDIUM Nebraska Pharmaceuticals Company (NPC) is considering a project that has an up-front cost at t = 0 of $1,500. (All dollars in this problem are in thousands.) The project's subsequent cash flows are critically dependent on whether a competitor's product is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. If the FDA rejects the competitive product, NPC's product will have high sales and cash flows, but if the competitive product is approved, that will negatively impact NPC. There is a 75% chance that the competitive product will be rejected, in which case NPC's expected cash flows will be $500 at the end of each of the next seven years (t = 1 to 7). There is a 25% chance that the competitor's product will be approved, in which case the expected cash flows will be only $25 at the end of each of the next seven years (t = 1 to 7). NPC will know for sure one year from today whether the competitor's product has been approved. NPC is considering whether to make the investment today or to wait a year to find out about the FDA's

decision. If it waits a year, the project's up-front cost at t = 1 will remain at $1,500, the subsequent cash flows will remain at $500 per year if the competitor's product is rejected and $25 per year if the alternative product is approved. However, if NPC decides to wait, the subsequent cash flows will be received only for six years (t = 2 ... 7). Assuming that all cash flows are discounted at 10%, if NPC chooses to wait a year before proceeding, how much will this increase or decrease the project's expected NPV in today's dollars (i.e., at t = 0), relative to the NPV if it proceeds today? a. b. c. d. e. $77.23 $85.81 $95.34 $105.94 $116.53 15 . (13.3) Timing option, effect of delay on CV Answer: a MEDIUM In the previous problem you found the benefit from delaying an investment decision. Now use the same data to calculate the effect of waiting on the project's risk. By how much will delaying reduce the project's coefficient of variation? (Hint: Use the expected NPV as found in Problem 14.) a. b. c. d. e. 2.23 2.46 2.70 2.97 3.27 Chapter 13: Real Options Problems Page 191 Multi-part: (The following data apply to Problems 16 and 17. together.) The problems MUST be kept Diplomat.com is considering a project that has an up-front cost $3 of million and is expected to produce a cash flow of $500,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. The project's cost of capital is 10%. (13.3) Project NPV-nonalgorithmic Answer: b Based on the above data, what is the project's net present value? a. b. c. d. e. -$1,312,456 -$1,104,607 -$875,203 $105,999 $321,788 EASY 16 . 17 . (13.3) Growth option--nonalgorithmic Answer: c MEDIUM If Diplomat goes ahead with this project today, it will obtain knowledge that will give rise to additional opportunities 5 years from now (at t = 5). The company can decide at t = 5 whether or not it wants to pursue these additional opportunities. Based on the best information available today, there is a 35% probability that the outlook will be favorable, in which case the future investment opportunity will have a net present value of $6 million at t = 5. There is a 65% probability that the outlook will be unfavorable, in which case the future investment opportunity will have a net present value of -$6 million at t = 5. Diplomat.com does not have to decide today whether it wants to pursue the additional opportunity. Instead, it can wait to see what the outlook is. However, the company cannot pursue the future opportunity unless it makes the $3 million investment today. What is the estimated net present value of the project, after consideration of the potential future opportunity? a. b. c. d. e. $1,104,607 -$875,203 $199,328 $561,947 $898,205 The problems MUST be kept (The following data apply to Problems 18 and 19. together.) Oklahoma Instruments (OI) is considering a project called F-200 that has an up-front cost of $250,000. The project's subsequent cash flows are critically dependent on whether another of its products, F-100, becomes an industry standard. There is a 50% chance that the F-100 will become the industry standard, in which case the F-200's expected cash flows will be $110,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. There is a 50% chance that the F-100 will not become the industry standard, in which case the F-200's expected cash flows will be $25,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. Assume that the cost of capital is 12%. Page 192 Problems Chapter 13: Real Options 18 . (13.3) Project NPV--nonalgorithmic Answer: a Based on the above information, what is the F200's expected net present value? a. b. c. d. e. -$6,678 -$3,251 $15,303 $20,004 $45,965 EASY 19 . (13.3) Abandonment option--nonalgorithmic Answer: e MEDIUM Now assume that one year from now OI will know if the F-100 has become the industry standard. Also assume that after receiving the cash flows at t = 1, OI has the option to abandon the project, in which case it will receive an additional $100,000 at t = 1 but no cash flows after t = 1. Assuming that the cost of capital remains at 12%, what is the estimated value of the abandonment option? a. b. c. d. e. $0 $2,075 $4,067 $8,945 $10,745 Chapter 13: Real Options Problems Page 193 CHAPTER 13 ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS Page 194 Answers Chapter 13: Real Options 1 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. .

(13.1) Real options (13.1) Real options (13.2) Real options (13.2) Real options (13.2) Investment timing option (13.1) Real options Answer: a EASY Answer: b Answer: a Answer: b Answer: b Answer: e EASY EASY EASY EASY EASY By having the ability to wait and see you reduce the risk of the project. Therefore, statement a is false. The greater the uncertainty, the more value there is in waiting for additional information before going on with a project. Therefore, statement b is false. Statements c and d are not necessarily true. By waiting to do a project you may lose strategic advantages associated with being the first competitor to enter a new line of business, which may alter the cash flows. Since statements a, b, c, and d are false, the correct choice is statement e. 7. (Comp: 13.1-13.4) Real options Answer: c EASY Statements a, b, c, and d are all examples of different types of real options. A flexibility option permits the firm to alter operations depending on how conditions change during the life of the project. Typically, either inputs or outputs, or both, can be changed. Statement a is an example of an investment timing option, while statement b is an example of an abandonment option. Statement c is an example of a flexibility option, statement d is an example of a growth option, and statement e is not really a real option at all. Therefore, statement c is the correct choice. 8 9 10 . . . 11.

This is, of course, unrealistic. Note also that a lower cost of capital should be used to find the NPV of the Go Now decision than the Wait decision. The appropriate cost of capital is often lowered by the existence of real options. 16. (13.3) Project NPV--nonalgorithmic Answer: b EASY Find the project's NPV using a financial calculator and entering the following data inputs: CF0 = -3,000,000; CF1-5 = 500,000; I/YR = 10; and then solve for NPV = -$1,104,607. 17.

Step 2: Find the NPV at t = 0 of the new projects: If at t = 5 the firm's technology is not successful, the firm will choose not to do the additional projects (since their NPV is -$6,000,000). Therefore, the NPV at t = 5 is calculated as 0.35($6,000,000) + 0.65($0) = $2,100,000. However, this is the NPV at t = 5, so we need to discount this NPV to find the NPV of the additional projects today. Enter the following data inputs in the financial calculator: N = 5; I/YR = 10; PMT = 0; FV = 2,100,000; and then solve for PV = $1,303,935. Step 3: Find the NPV of the entire project considering its future opportunities: -$1,104,607 + $1,303,935 = $199,328. 18.

Answer: a Diff: E If the returns of two firms are negatively correlated, then one of them must have a negative beta. a. True b. False Beta coefficient 2. Answer: b Diff: E A stock with a beta equal to -1.0 has zero systematic (or market) risk. a. True b. False Beta coefficient 3. Answer: a Diff: E It is possible for a firm to have a positive beta, even if the correlation between the returns of it and another firm are negative. a. True b. False Linearity and beta 4. Answer: a Diff: E In estimating a security's beta coefficient, the rise-over-run calculation results in a ratio. If all the observation points for the security's returns and the market's returns do not fall on a straight line then the ratio is subject to change. a. True b. False SML 5. Answer: a Diff: E The SML relates required returns to firms' systematic (or market) risk. The slope and intercept of this line are not controllable by the financial manager. a. True b. False Chapter 5 - Page 1 Chapter 5 - Page 2 SML 6. Answer: b The slope of the SML is determined by the value of beta. a. True b. False Diff: E SML 7. Answer: a Diff: E If you plotted the returns of Selleck and Company against those of the market and found that the slope of your line was negative, the CAPM would indicate that the required rate of return on Selleck should be less than the risk-free rate for a well-diversified investor, assuming that the observed relationship is expected to continue in the future. a. True b. False Portfolio risk 8. Answer: a Diff: E In portfolio analysis, we often use ex post (historical) returns and standard deviations, despite the fact that we are interested in ex ante (future) data. a. True b. False Medium: CAPM 9. Answer: b Diff: M The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a multi-period model which takes account of differences in securities' maturities, and it can be used to determine the required rate of return for any given level of systematic risk. a. True b. False Portfolio beta 10. Answer: b Diff: M We will almost always find that the beta of a diversified portfolio is less stable over time than the beta of a single security. a. True b. False SML 11. Answer: b Diff: M The Y-axis intercept of the SML indicates the return on the individual asset when the realized return on an average (b = 1)

stock is zero. a. True b. False Chapter 5 - Page 3 Risk aversion 12. Answer: a Diff: M If investors are risk averse, we can conclude that the required rate of return associated with an asset held in isolation whose standard deviation is 0.21 will be greater than the return required on an asset whose standard deviation is 0.10. However, if assets are held in portfolios, it is possible that the required return could be higher on the low standard deviation stock. a. True b. False Arbitrage Pricing Theory 13. Answer: b Diff: M Arbitrage Pricing Theory is based on the premise that more than one factor affects stock returns. The factors are (1) market returns, (2) dividend yield, and (3) changes in inflation. a. True b. False Multiple Choice: Conceptual Easy: Risk aversion 14. You have developed the following data on three stocks: Stock A B C Standard Deviation 0.15 0.25 0.20 Beta 0.79 0.61 1.29 Answer: b Diff: E As a risk minimizer, you would choose Stock if held in isolation and Stock if held as part of a well-diversified portfolio. a. b. c. d. e. A; A; B; C; C; A. B. C. A. B. Chapter 5 - Page 4 Risk measures 15. Answer: d Diff: E Which Which is the best measure of risk for an asset held in isolation? is the best measure for an asset held in a diversified portfolio? a. b. c. d. e. Variance; correlation coefficient. Standard deviation; correlation coefficient. Beta; variance. Coefficient of variation; beta. Beta; beta. Answer: c Beta coefficient 16. Diff: E Which of the following is not a difficulty concerning beta and its estimation? a. Sometimes a security or project does not have a past history which can be used as a basis for calculating beta. b. Sometimes, during a period when the company is undergoing a change such as toward more leverage or riskier assets, the calculated beta will be drastically different than the "true" or "expected future" beta. c. The beta of an "average stock," or "the market," can change over time, sometimes drastically. d. Sometimes the past data used to calculate beta do not reflect the likely risk of the firm for the future because conditions have changed. e. All of the statements above are potentially serious problems. Beta coefficient 17. Answer: d Diff: E Stock A has a beta of 1.5 and Stock B has a beta of 0.5. Which of the following statements must be true about these securities? (Assume market equilibrium.) a. When held in isolation, Stock A has greater risk than Stock B. b. Stock B would be a more desirable addition to a portfolio than Stock A. c. Stock A would be a more desirable addition to a portfolio than Stock B. d. The expected return on Stock A will be greater than that on Stock B. e. The expected return on Stock B will be greater than that on Stock A. Chapter 5 - Page 5 Portfolio risk and return 18. Answer: c Diff: E In a portfolio of three different stocks, which of the following could not be true? a. The riskiness of the portfolio is less than the riskiness of each of the stocks held in isolation. b. The riskiness of the portfolio is greater than the riskiness of one or two of the stocks. c. The beta of the portfolio is less than the beta of each of the individual stocks. d. The beta of the portfolio is greater than the beta of one or two of the individual stocks' betas. e. None of the above (i.e., they all could be true, but not necessarily at the same time). Medium: Beta coefficient 19. Answer: d Diff: M You have developed data which give (1) the average annual returns of the market for the past five years and (2) similar information on Stocks A and B. If these data are as follows, which of the possible answers best describes the historical beta for A and B?

The distance of the plot points from the characteristic line is a measure of the stock's diversifiable risk. Tests of the CAPM 23. Which of the following statements is most correct? a. Tests have shown that the betas of individual stocks are unstable over time, but that the betas of large portfolios are reasonably stable over time. b. Richard Roll has argued that it is not even possible to test the CAPM to see if it is correct. c.

The very fact that rA > rB indicates that Security A is regarded by investors as the more risky one. This occurs because Security B has a negative covariance with the market--holding B in a diversified portfolio lowers the riskiness of the portfolio. Although it is not necessary for answering the question, one could use the data to calculate covariances for A and B: Cov(rA,rM) = where A,M A,M A,M A M, = Correlation of

A's return with the market return = 0.85. = Standard deviations respectively. of returns of A and the market, Cov(rA,rM) = 0.85(0.15)(0.12) = 0.0153. Cov(rB,rM) = B,M B M = 0.67(0.20)(0.12) = -0.01608. Security A's contribution to the portfolio risk is, therefore, higher than that of B. In a single-asset portfolio, the security's risk is measured by the variance of its returns. VarianceA = VarianceB = 2 A = (0.15)2 = 0.0225, and = (0.20)2 = 0.04. 2 B Thus, in a single-asset portfolio, B is riskier than A, but in a diversified (CAPM) portfolio, A is riskier. b. Beta coefficients of A and B are calculated as follows: bA Cov rA , rM 2 M A,M A 2 M M 0.0153 0.12 2 1.0625 . bB Cov rB, rM 2 M 0.01608 0.12 2 1.1167 . c. The value of rM is calculated from the CAPM equation: rsA = rRF + (rM - rRF)bA. Therefore, 1.0625rM = 12.4% 6% + 6.375% = 12.775%. 12.02%. A similar solution could be obtained by applying the CAPM equation to Chapter 5 - Page 16 rM = 12.775%/1.0625 = 12.4% = 6% + (rM 6%)1.0625. Security B. 36.

Securities A and B in the b. If the correlation coefficient

were positive, then the CML would have a less steep slope. The riskiness of the portfolio would increase. If the correlation coefficient were negative, then the CML would be steeper. c. This would not represent a stable equilibrium, because no one would want to hold the riskless asset. In a stable equilibrium, all securities must be priced so that they will be held in portfolios. Therefore, the price of the riskless asset will fall, and its rate of return, rRF, will rise. This will produce a new tangency point and cause a new CML to be created. However, at the new tangency point we have a new market portfolio. This will probably lead to a repricing of stocks, hence to a change in the efficient set. The final results will include (1) a higher rRF, (2) a CML that is less steep than the present one, (3) some change in the efficient set, (4) a rebalancing of portfolios, with some investors (those who are most risk averse) holding portfolios that contain some of the riskless asset and some of the market portfolio, and (5) an equilibrium situation in which all securities were held in portfolios and there was no general desire to change portfolio compositions.
