Abstract

Se propone la utilización de la metodología de evaluación con opciones reales mediante un enfoque de multiopciones, con el fin de determinar el valor adecuado de un proyecto de distribución de combustibles líquidos en Colombia. Para lo cual, se determinan cada una de las opciones reales que se generan en el objeto de estudio y se estima, el valor adicional percibido por elementos como son; la presencia de riesgo de ocurrencia de eventos contingentes, la volatilidad y el riesgo presente en los flujos de caja. El uso de la metodología de opciones reales permitió estimar un valor adicional del proyecto de forma más precisa, comparado con el valor que se hubiera obtenido si sólo se utilizara la metodología tradicional de descuento de flujos de caja; además con su correcto uso, se pudo determinar, cuáles son las mejores decisiones que se deben tomar durante la ejecución del proyecto. Con esta metodología se permite mejorar la toma de decisiones financieras en un contexto en particular, debido a que representa un análisis que va más allá del modelo tradicional de valoración. De esta manera, se pretende ampliar el espectro de aplicación a otros sectores de la economía, sobre los cuales existe poca investigación. Abstract: This paper aims to determine the appropiate evaluation of a Colombian liquid fuel distribution project using the real option evaluation methodology, through a multi-option approach. Thus, each real option generated by the proposed project under study is determined and the additional perceived value is estimated by elements such as the presence of the occurrence risk of contingent events, volatility and the existing risk on cash flows. Using real options methodology made it possible to estimate an additional value to the project in a more accurate manner compared to the value that would have been obtained applying the traditional methodology of discounted cash flow. In addition, the proper use of this methodology made it possible to determine which decisions must be taken throughout the execution of the project. This methodology allows the improvement of the financial decision making within a particular context, enriched by an analysis that goes beyond the traditional valuation model. Thus, it is intended to expand the application range to other economic sectors in which there is little research.
