Wahal Corporation uses the NPV method when selecting projects, and it does a reasonably good job of estimating projects' sales and costs. However, it never considers any real options that might be associated with projects. Which of the following statements is most likely to describe its situation?
a. Its estimated capital budget is probably too small, because projects' NPVs are often larger when real options are taken into account.
b. Its estimated capital budget is probably too large due to its failure to consider abandonment and growth options.
c. Failing to consider abandonment and flexibility options probably makes the optimal capital budget too large, but failing to consider growth and timing options probably makes the optimal capital budget too small, so it is unclear what impact the failure to consider real options has on the overall capital budget.
d. Failing to consider abandonment and flexibility options probably makes the optimal capital budget too small, but failing to consider growth and timing options probably makes the optimal capital budget too large, so it is unclear what impact not considering real options has on the overall capital budget.
e. Real options should not have any effect on the size of the optimal capital budget.
