Abstract

This paper proposes the Milestone Project Valuation (MPV) and enhanced MPV through sequential compound options (SCOs). Most compound options in literatures are 2-fold with constant parameters through time. The multi-fold compound options are just sequential compound CALL options. The multi-fold sequential compound options proposed in this study are compound option on (compound) option and allow call/put alteration. Besides, the parameters can vary in different folds and make the model more flexible. The partial derivative of multivariate normal integration is derived in this study and used for proofs of the SCO Greeks. The SCOs can enhance and broaden the usages of compound option in real option and financial derivative fields, such as the proposed MPV and enhanced MPV (eMPV) algorithm. These methods are concretized in a Graph User Interface (GUI) computer program.
