Description
Summary:The most common methodology used to evaluate projects is Discounted Cash Flow, however, despite being intuitive and easy to apply, considering that the project's cash flows will be constant, it does not incorporate the future uncertainties and managerial flexibilities that the project may have. to have. Alternatively, the Real Options Theory appears as a complementary methodology to Discounted Cash Flow, by adding uncertainties and flexibilities to the project. To illustrate the advantages of the Real Options Theory, this work used it to financially evaluate a coal mining project in Africa, where there is an option to expand and abandon the project at the end of the 5th year of operation. The existence of the options caused the value of the project to increase by around 30%. Thus, we proved through binomial modeling that options add value to the project, especially when they exist simultaneously. Keywords: Real Options Theory. Investment Analysis. Management Flexibility. A metodologia mais comum utilizada para avaliar projetos e a do Fluxo de Caixa Descontado, porem apesar de ser intuitiva e de facil aplicacao, ao considerar que os fluxos de caixa do projeto serao constantes, nao incorpora as incertezas futuras e flexibilidades gerenciais que o projeto possa ter. Alternativamente, a Teoria das Opcoes Reais surge como uma metodologia complementar ao do Fluxo de Caixa Descontado, ao agregar as incertezas e flexibilidades ao projeto. Para ilustrar as vantagens da Teoria das Opcoes Reais, o presente trabalho a utilizou para avaliar financeiramente um projeto de mineracao de carvao na Africa, onde ha opcao de expansao e de abandono do projeto ao final do 5 ano de operacao. A existencia das opcoes fez com que o valor do projeto aumentasse em cerca de 30%. Assim, comprovamos atraves da modelagem binomial que as opcoes agregam valor ao projeto, principalmente quando existem simultaneamente. Palavras-chave: Teoria das Opcoes Reais.
