摘要:
Systems, methods and computer program products for performing a valuation of a contingent claim are provided that initially determine the present value distribution of contingent future benefits that is attributable to the exercise of a contingent claim. In this regard, the distribution of contingent future benefits is discounted according to a first discount rate, such as the weighted average cost of capital. The present value of a contingent future investment required to exercise the contingent claim is also determined based upon another appropriate discount rate, such as a risk-free rate of discounting. An average of the difference between the present value distribution of contingent future benefits and the present value of the contingent future investment is determined. By utilizing appropriate discount rates, the benefits and investment can be effectively valued, which, in turn, permits the contingent claim project to be effectively valued in an intuitive manner.

Systems, methods and computer program products for performing a valuation of a contingent claim, such as a call or a put, are provided that initially determine the present value distribution of contingent future benefits that is attributable to the exercise of a contingent claim, such as according to a jump-diffusion model. The present value of an exercise price, such as a distribution of contingent future investments of a distribution of contingent future investments, required to exercise the contingent claim is also determined. An average of the difference between the present value distribution of contingent future benefits and the present value of the contingent future investment is determined. By utilizing appropriate discount rates, the benefits and investment can be effectively valued, which, in turn, permits the contingent claim project to be effectively valued in an intuitive manner.
摘要:
A systems, methods and computer program products are provided for modeling a monetary measure of a good, such as a cost or revenue associated with the good. A method begins by selecting at least one qualitative measure of maturity for at least one technology associated with the good, where each qualitative measure of maturity is associated with a distribution such that each technology is correspondingly associated with a distribution. Next, a monetary point is associated with each technology, and thereafter a monetary distribution is determined for each technology based upon a respective monetary point and a respective distribution. A plurality of monetary values are selected by randomly selecting the plurality of monetary values for each technology based upon a respective monetary distribution. Finally, the monetary measure for the good are modeled based upon the selected monetary values for each technology.

A method is provided that includes modeling demand and/or future supply for a good in a differentiated market. In accordance with the method, demand/supply in a differentiated market is modeled by first modeling demand and/or supply for a good in a non-differentiated market based upon a price sensitivity distribution of a unit purchase of the good, as well as a market potential distribution of a number of units of the good in a market associated with the good. Thereafter, the model of demand and/or supply in the non-differentiated market is integrated to thereby model demand and/or supply for a good in a differentiated market. The method can further include modeling cost and/or profitability of the good in a differentiated market. Profitability can be modeled based upon the demand model and the cost model for the differentiated market.

Systems, methods and computer program products for determining a learning curve value and modeling an associated profitability of a good are provided. According to one method of determining a learning curve value, recurring costs of producing each unit of the good are modeled as a function of potential learning curve values. Nonrecurring costs of producing each unit of the good are then modeled as a function of potential learning curve values. Next, the learning curve value is determined based upon the recurring costs model and the nonrecurring costs value such that the sum of the recurring costs and nonrecurring costs at the determined learning curve value is minimized over the potential learning curve values.

Systems, methods and computer program products for modeling demand, supply and associated profitability of a good. According to one method, a price sensitivity distribution is determined, and then a market potential distribution of a number of units of the good is determined. Next, a forecasted market is selected according to a Monte Carlo method based upon the market potential distribution, where the forecasted market includes a predefined number of units of the good. A demand and/or supply for the good in the forecasted market is then modeled based upon the price sensitivity distribution and the predefined number of units in the forecasted market. By so modeling demand and/or supply, the method can account for uncertainty in a market for the good, as defined by the number of units of the good purchased and the price at which those units are purchased and/or produced.
