Metode Real Option merupakan metode valuasi proyek yang dapat mengandung unsur ketidakpastian dan juga strategi investasi perusahaan pada proyek yang akan dijalankan. Ketidakpastian ini ditandai dengan adanya perubahan nilai proyek dari waktu ke waktu, dimana dalam makalah ini akan dimodelkan oleh Metode Lattice. Salah satu parameter yang diperlukan dalam metode ini adalah volatilitas yang menunjukkan cukup atau kurangnya informasi yang dimiliki mengenai perkembangan nilai proyek tersebut di masa yang akan datang. Makalah ini membahas tentang Real Option menggunakan model trinomial lattice yang dimodifikasi dengan perubahan volatilitas ber- dasarkan Haahtela. Model Real Option dengan perubahan volatilitas tersebut diterapkan pada masalah valuasi nilai proyek pertambangan perak. Hasil analisis menunjukkan nilai proyek yang positif sehingga proyek ini akan menguntungkan untuk dijalankan.Kata kunci: Evaluasi Nilai Proyek, Metode Lattice, Metode Trinomial, Real Option AbstractIn facing uncertain market conditions, a company needs a project value valuation process that may involve uncertainty arising from such market conditions, in order for the company to maximize profits and limit losses that may arise. Real Option method is a method of val- uation of projects that can contain elements of uncertainty and also the company's invest- ment strategy on the project to be run. This uncertainty is marked by the change of project’s value from time to time, which in this paper will be modeled by the lattice Method. One of the parameters required in this method is the volatility indicating sufficient or insufficient information about the development of the project’s value in the future. This paper discusses Real Option using modified trinomial lattice model with volatility changes based on Haahtela. The Real Option model with such volatility changes is applied to the valuation of the value of the silver mining project. The result show positive value of this project so the project is worthed to run.Keywords: Project Valuation Method, Method Lattice, Method Trinomial, Real Option

Traditional methods used for real estate project valuation, such as the static Net Present Value, have some limitations, as these methods do not consider the possibility of a change in the initial conditions of the project or during its development. On the other hand, the real options approach allows for flexibility in evaluating a real estate project, improving the decision-making process as it helps identify the optimal strategy and timing for the construction phases. The paper deals with evaluating an actual real estate project in La Rioja (Spain) using different options to estimate its final Net Present Value. The results show that the real estate project would be profitable under several scenarios, although the valuations can vary significantly among the different types of options. This is because some options add more value to the project than others, depending on their cost and the uncertainty they eliminate. In contrast, the results obtained using the traditional static method would have led a real estate developer to discard the project completely, as its Net Present Value would have been negative. This confirms that the introduction of flexibility in real estate developments creates additional value by allowing developers and investors to dynamically react to changes in the market, thus making better investment decisions and finding real estate investment opportunities that otherwise would not be considered at all.

Purpose Uncertainties in residential property investment performance require that real estate assets are designed in a flexible manner to respond to impacts of market dynamics. Though estimating the cost of flexibility is straightforward, assessing the economic value of flexibility is not. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential practical application of real option analysis to determine the economic value of a switching output flexibility embedded in a residential property investment in Australia. The study involves the exploration of an optimal strategy for investment in a residential development through real option analysis and valuation of a mixed use investment. Design/methodology/approach The real option valuation model developed by McDonald and Siegel (1986) is adopted for the evaluation because the switching output flexibility is likened to a perpetual American call option with dividend payout. Findings Through real option analysis, the economic value of switching output flexibility of the mixed use building was determined to be higher than the initial upfront costs. Moreover, a payoff of about $4million was determined to be the value of the switching output flexibility, therefore justifying upfront investments in flexibility as an uncertainty and risk management tool. Practical implications This application is an important demonstration of the practical use of options pricing techniques (real options analysis) and delivers further evidence needed to support the adoption of real option valuation in practice. Flexibility can also enhance risks and uncertainty management in residential property investment better than the adjustment of discount rates. Originality/value There is limited evidence on the use of real options techniques for the valuation of switching output flexibility in practice, and this comes as an original application; both the case study and data are all initial applications of switching flexibility in the Australian property market.
