The Stock Price Assumption(p282) • In a short period of time of length t the return on the stock is normally distributed: • Consider a stock whose priceis S
The Lognormal Property • It follows from this assumption that • Since the logarithm of ST is normal, ST is lognormally distributed
Black&Scholes formula: ct = StN(d1) – Ke-r(T-t) N(d2) d1 = [ln(St/K) + (r +.52)(T – t)]/√(T – t) d2 = d1 - √(T – t), N(d) is the cumulative standard normal distribution. All the parameters are annualized and continuous in time
pt = Ke-r(T-t) N(- d2) – StN(- d1). d1 = [ln(St/K) +(r +.52)(T – t)]/√(T – t) d2 = d1 - √(T – t), N(d) is the cumulative standard normal distribution. All the parameters are annualized and continuous in time

INTEL Thursday, September 21, 2000. S = $61.48 S = 61.48: K = 70: JAN: T-t = 121/365 = .3315yrs; R = 4.82%r = ln[1.0482] = .047. = 48.28%. d1={ln(61.48/70) + [.047 +.5(.48282)].3315}/(.4828)(.3315) = -.2718. d2 = d1 – (.4828)(.3315) = -.5498 Next, we follow the extrapolations suggested in the text: N(-.2718) = ? N(-.5498) = ?
N(d1) = N(-.2718) = N(-.27) - .18[N(-.27) – N(-.28)] = .3936 -.18[.3936 -.3897] = .392274 N(d2) = N(-.5498) = N(-.54) - .98[N(-.54) – N(-.55)] = .2946 - .98[.2946 - .2912] = .291268 ct = StN(d1) – Ke-r(T-t)N(d2) c = 61.48(.392274) – 65e-(.047)(.3315)(.292268) = 4.04 pt = Ke-r(T-t)N(- d2) – StN(- d1) BUT Employing the put-call parity for European options on a non dividend paying stock, we have: p = 4.04 - 61.48 + 70e-(.047)(.3315) = 11.81
Black and Scholes prices satisfy the put-call parity for European options on a non dividend paying stock: ct – pt = St - Ke-r(T-t) . Substituting the Black&Scholes values: ct = StN(d1) – Ke-r(T-t) N(d2) pt = Ke-r(T-t) N(- d2) – StN(- d1). into the put-call parity yields:
ct – pt = StN(d1) – Ke-r(T-t) N(d2) - [Ke-r(T-t) N(- d2) – StN(- d1)] ct - pt = StN(d1) – Ke-r(T-t) N(d2) - Ke-r(T-t) [1 - N(d2)] + St[1 - N(d1) ct - pt = St – Ke-r(T-t)
The Inputs St = The current stock price K = The strike price T – t = The years remaining to expiration r = The annual, continuously compounded risk-free rate = The annual SD of the returns on the underlying asset
The Inputs St = The current stock price Bid price? Ask price? Usually: mid spread
The Inputs T – t = The years remaining to expiration Black and Scholes: continuous markets 1 year = 365 days. Real world : the markets are open for trading only 252 days. 1 year = 252 days.
The inputs1. r continuously compounded 2. R simple. r = ln[1+R].3. Ra; Rb; n = the number of days to the T-bill maturity.
The Volatility (VOL) • The volatility of an asset is the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return in 1 year • As an approximation it is the standard deviation of the percentage change in the asset price in 1 year
Historical Volatility(page 286-9) • Take n+1observed prices S0, S1, . . . , Sn at the end of the i-th time interval, i=0,1,…n. • is the length of time interval in years. For example, if the time interval between i and i+1 is one week, then = 1/52, If the time interval is one day, then = 1/365.
Historical Volatility • Calculate the continuously compounded return in each time interval as:
Historical Volatility Calculate the standard deviation of the ui´s:
Historical Volatility The estimate of the Historical Volatility is:
Implied Volatility (VOL) (p.300) • The implied volatility of an option is the volatility for which the Black-Scholes price equals the market price • There is a one-to-one correspondence between prices and implied volatilities • Traders and brokers often quote implied volatilities rather than dollar prices
ct = StN(d1) – Ke-r(T-t) N(d2) d1 = [ln(St/K) + (r +.52)(T – t)]/√(T – t), d2 = d1 - √(T – t). Inputs: St ; K; r; T-t; and ct The solution yields: Implied Vol.
Dividend adjustments (p.301) 1. European options When the underlying asset pays dividends the adjustment of the Black and Scholes formula depends on the information at hand. Case 1. The annual dividend payout ratio, q, is known. Use: Where St is the current asset market price
Dividend adjustment 2. European options Case 2. It is known that the underlying asset will pay a series of cash dividends, Di, on dates ti during the option’s life. Use: Where St is the current asset market price
Dividend adjustment • American options: T = the option expiration date. tn = date of the last dividend payment before T. Black’s Approximation c=Max{1,2} • Compute the dividend adjusted European price. • Compute the dividend adjusted European price with expiration at tn; i.e., without the last dividend.
