Certain commodities, such as copper concentrates, experience even higher levels of volatility and uncertainty. This is fundamentally due to the absence of a reference market that allows for a transparent price discovery, along with many factors affecting the price and trade of any commodity. Traders also lack the possibility of fully hedging their exposure to copper concentrate prices as there is no derivative market directly available for the commodity. Consequently, this paper analyses the copper concentrate trading business resorting to the Real Options methodology to assess the high volatility and uncertainty which dominates in this area of commodity markets. The results obtained indicate that this method can be applied by copper concentrate traders to separate the price uncertainty from their business operative and financial planning for the future. This provides them with a reliable tool to lower the level of uncertainty affecting their long-term goals, as well as keeping the risk that they are taking under control. It also gives them higher managerial flexibility.

The approach presented enables decomposing the economic value created into the project scale (total capital invested) and the economic efficiency, obtained as the difference between average ROI and a suitably adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC). We show that a project’s average ROI is equal to the weighted mean of the average Return On Equity (ROE) (total net income divided by total equity capital) and the average Return On Debt (ROD) (total interest expenses to total debt outstanding) and show that the average ROE itself correctly measures shareholder value creation when compared with a suitably adjusted cost of equity. We show that the internal average-based approach presented is also valid under the more general assumption of time-varying cost of capital.","PeriodicalId":92453,"journal":{"name":"The Engineering economist","volume":"338 1","pages":"279 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77604014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
