Vanadium 50 said:Isn't that the same thing? The net value is the value of the assets less the value of the liabilities, so you get a max value by zeroing the liabilities.
not necessarily, to maximize the option value at t0, at a high enough vol the value of the call will get arbitrarily close to $2.8B with the debt in place
At t>0, the value of the assets could appreciate more than the value of the liabilities - and the liabilities arent going away - the value in the equity is participating in appreciation of asset value above the value of the liabilities without taking any responsibility for them if the asset value drops and the company becomes insolvent, hence the call option valuation
