Option Pricing RelationshipPut Call Parity for Stock Options > What is the price of a call? > To find out, form the following riskless portfolio*: Write one call struck at K for C dollars Buy one put struck at K for P dollars Buy one share of stock for S0 dollars Borrow the Present Value of K Denote the riskless interest rate as r > The price of the call depends on P, S0, K, and r! > This price web called Put-Call Parity! * This combo is called a conversion; see Strong p 73 fn #5 for other names.
Option Pricing RelationshipPut Call Parity for Stock Options Let’s examine the cash flows of this portfolio.

Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase But what is the price of a call? The Pricing logic underling option pricing is: “…a riskless investment should earn the riskless rate of interest. If this is not the case, arbitrageurs will quickly transact so as to move prices to their equilibrium relationship.” Strong, pp 115-16.
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase What is the price of a call? Facts: > Current stock price S0 is $75 > Strike price K is $75 > Interest rate is 10% > Time horizon 1 year > Stock price either goes up to $100 or falls to $50 $100 S0 = $75 $50
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Consider the cash flows of two alternate strategies #1: Buy 2 calls each struck @ $75 for premium of C$ each #2a: Buy 1 share of stock at $75 = S0 b: Borrow @ 10%
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Can we fill in [ ] so plan 2 payoff = plan 1’s $0,$50?
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Can we fill in [ ] so plan 2 payoff = plan 1’s $0,$50?
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Yes! Fill in [ ] with -$50! Both plan’s payoff $0,$50!
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Yes! Fill in [ ] with -$50! Both plan’s payoff $0,$50!
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase -$50 at T means borrow $50/(1+10%) at t0 = $45.46!
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Since the two strategies have the same payoffs, the price paid at t0 must be the same for the strategies. 2C$ = $75 – $45.46 C$ = $29.54/2 C$ = $14.77
Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase Since the two strategies have the same cash inflows at time T (0,50) and cash outflow at time t0 (= $29.54 = 75-45.46) A Call is a Leveraged Stock Purchase!
Hedged PortfolioSell Call, Buy Stock, Borrow * If Call is equivalent to a leveraged stock purchase: 1. Call price = price of leveraged stock in Equilib. 2. Riskless to: write calls & buy stock on leverage * If Call price > or < price of leverage stock then ***** ARBITRAGE POSSIBILITIES!* Earn more than the riskless rate of interest by Buying under priced & selling over priced
Hedged PortfolioSell Call, Buy Stock, Borrow > Price call using hedged portfolio > Hedged portfolio combines call & its equivalent leveraged stock purchase. > Hedged means KNOW FV for SURE! So we can use PV*(1+r) = FV. > Strong uses this approach to pricing a call.> Benefits * See, rather than assume, number of calls = N. * See option price flowing from arbitrage. * Extendable framework more real world.
Hedged PortfolioSell Call, Buy Stock, Borrow > Consider the hedged portfolio composed of: Write N calls struck @$75, premium of C$ each Buy 1 share of stock @ $75 = S0 Borrow B$ > 1 year time horizon (again) > 10% riskless interest (again) > Price either goes down to $50 or up to $100

Hedged PortfolioSell Call, Buy Stock, Borrow Portfolio Values So solve for C$ PV* (1+r) = FV($75-2C$)*(1.10)1 = $50 ($75-2C$) = $50/(1.10)1 = $45.56 -2C$ = $45.46 - $75 = -$29.54C$ = -$29.54/(-2) = $14.77 PV0 is[$75-2*C$]&grows to FV of $50 either way……… so RISKLESS!
Hedged PortfolioSell Call, Buy Stock, Borrow Cash Flows > Note, along the way to finding N & C$, we found B$ =$45.46. > At T, portfolio worth $50 either way. So bank would lend $50/(1.1)=$45.46 at t0. > If your own $45.46 finances this hedged portfolio rather than borrow, you would earn 10% riskless rate as your $45.46 grows to $50.> Earn riskless rate only option is FAIRLY PRICED, NO ARB Profit! >>> NOW what if C$ was $15 rather than $14.77? What would you do? <<<
Hedged PortfolioSell Call, Buy Stock, Borrow Cash Flows NOW what would you do if C$ was $15 rather than $14.77? Arbitrage! At time t0 you could take in $0.46 on net and pay out $0 on net at T! $30.00 in from writing calls > $29.54 out on net $75 out from buying stock $45.46 in from borrowing @ 10%Implicit: rebalance hedge each period; but only one period so rebalance hidden!

Option Pricing via Binomial > Binomial Bi is two and Nomial is name > Assumed stock price either goes up or down to known values > Results: get C$ & get C$ directly related to volatility & to time > Buts: More than two possibilities in real world More often than once per year > Eliminate these Buts by Extending Binomial MULTIPLE periods
Option Pricing via Binomial > Extending Binomial to MULTIPLE periods > Two technical tools 1. Continuous Compounding 2. Implied Branch Probabilities > Method 1. Build value tree to find terminal period stock values 2. Convert to Intrinsic values 3. Find implied branch probabilities 4. Work backwards to expected present value of call
Option Pricing via BinomialTool: Continuous Compounding > Discrete vs continuous compounding: T= 1 & r = 10% > Discrete: $10(1+r)t = $10(1.1)1 = $10(1.1) = $11.00 > Continuous: $10ert = $10(e10%*1) = $10(1.1052) = $11.05 > Discrete Compounding when solving for C$ ($75-2C$)*(1.10)1 = $50 ($75-2C$) = $50/(1.10)1 = $45.56 -2C$ = $45.46 - $75 = -$29.54C$ = -$29.54/(-2) = $14.77 > Continuous Compounding when solving forC$ ($75-2C$)*e10%*1 = $50 ($75-2C$) = $50/e10%*1 = $50/1.1052 = $45.24 -2C$ = $45.24 - $75 = -$29.76C$ = -$29.76/(-2) = $14.88
Option Pricing via BinomialTool: Implied Branch Probabilities > Suppose non-dividend stock expected to return 10.52% riskless rate r = 10%, compounded continuously, 1 year. ert => e10%*1 for 10.52% > Then $100 invested in the stock should return ert $100(Pup*U) + $100(Pdown*D) = $100ert (Pup*U) + (Pdown*D) = ert > Where U = 1+ % increase if stock goes up D = 1- % decrease if stock goes down Pup = implied probability that stock goes up Pdown = implied probability that stock goes down
Option Pricing via BinomialTool: Implied Branch Probabilities [1] Given (Pup * U) + (Pdown * D) = ert [2] Since Pup + Pdown = 1, we know Pdown = (1-Pup) Solve for the implied probabilities by sub [2] into [1] gives [3] [3] Pup = [ert –D] / [U – D] > If U is 1.3333 for a stock rising 33.33% D is 0.6667 for a stock falling 33.33% r = 10% for ert = 1.1052 >Then Pup = [1.1052-1.3333] / [1.3333-0.6667] = 65.78% Pdown = (1-Pup) = 34.22%
Option Pricing via BinomialTool: Implied Branch Probabilities Method 1. Build value tree to find terminal period stock values 2. Convert to intrinsic values 3. Assign implied branch probabilities 4. Work backwards to expected present value for C$
