3. Real Options: Decision Tree Analysis
It is the beginning of January 2014 and you have been offered the following deal to go heli-skiing. If you pick the first week in January 2015 and pay for your vacation now, you can geta week of heli-skiing for $2500. However, if you cannot ski because the helicopters cannot fly due to bad weather, there is no snow, or you get sick, you do not get a refund. There is a40% chance that you will not be able to ski. If you wait until the last minute and go only ifyou know that the conditions are perfect and you are healthy, the vacation will cost $4000.
You estimate that the pleasure you get from heli-skiing is worth $6000 per week to you (ifyou had to pay any more than that, you would choose not to go).
