Payback Period and Internal Rate of Return in Real Options Analysis

The Engineering Economist, 2006
We propose a new method to compute payback period (PBP) and internal rate of return (IRR) in the presence of real options. We extend the Kulatilaka–Trigeorgis general model of real options to derive the expected value of these two decision rules in the presence of the options to wait, to mothball, and to abandon.
