  4. 17.1 Options • An option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a given quantity of an asset on (or before) a given date, at prices agreed upon today. • Exercising the Option • The act of buying or selling the underlying asset • Strike Price or Exercise Price • Refers to the fixed price in the option contract at which the holder can buy or sell the underlying asset. • Expiry (Expiration Date) • The maturity date of the option

  5. Options • European versus American options • European options can be exercised only at expiry. • American options can be exercised at any time up to expiry. • In-the-Money • Exercising the option would result in a positive payoff. • At-the-Money • Exercising the option would result in a zero payoff (i.e., exercise price equal to spot price). • Out-of-the-Money • Exercising the option would result in a negative payoff.

  6. Call options gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a given quantity of some asset on or before some time in the future, at prices agreed upon today. When exercising a call option, you “call in” the asset. 17.2 Call Options

  7. Call Option Pricing at Expiry • At expiry, an American call option is worth the same as a European option with the same characteristics. • If the call is in-the-money, it is worth ST–E. • If the call is out-of-the-money, it is worthless: C= Max[ST –E, 0] Where ST is the value of the stock at expiry (time T) E is the exercise price. C is the value of the call option at expiry

  8. Call Option Payoffs 60 Buy a call 40 Option payoffs ($) 20 80 120 20 40 60 100 50 Stock price ($) –20 Exercise price = $50 –40

  9. 60 40 Option payoffs ($) 20 80 120 20 40 60 100 Stock price ($) –20 –40 Call Option Profits Buy a call 10 50 –10 Exercise price = $50; option premium = $10

  10. Put options gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a given quantity of an asset on or before some time in the future, at prices agreed upon today. When exercising a put, you “put” the asset to someone. 17.3 Put Options

  11. Put Option Pricing at Expiry • At expiry, an American put option is worth the same as a European option with the same characteristics. • If the put is in-the-money, it is worth E – ST. • If the put is out-of-the-money, it is worthless. P= Max[E – ST, 0]

  12. Put Option Payoffs 60 50 40 Option payoffs ($) 20 Buy a put 0 80 0 20 40 60 100 50 Stock price ($) –20 Exercise price = $50 –40

  13. Put Option Profits 60 40 Option payoffs ($) 20 10 Stock price ($) 80 50 20 40 60 100 –10 Buy a put –20 Exercise price = $50; option premium = $10 –40

  14. Option Premium Intrinsic Value Speculative Value + = Option Value • Intrinsic Value • Call: Max[ST –E, 0] • Put: Max[E–ST , 0] • Speculative Value • The difference between the option premium and the intrinsic value of the option.

  15. 17.4 Selling Options • The seller (or writer) of an option has an obligation. • The seller receives the option premium in exchange.

  16. Call Option Payoffs 60 40 Option payoffs ($) 20 80 120 20 40 60 100 50 Stock price ($) –20 Sell a call Exercise price = $50 –40

  17. Put Option Payoffs 40 20 Option payoffs ($) Sell a put 0 80 0 20 40 60 100 50 Stock price ($) –20 Exercise price = $50 –40 –50

  18. Option Diagrams Revisited Buy a call 40 Option payoffs ($) Buy a put Sell a call Sell a put 10 Stock price ($) 50 40 60 100 Buy a call –10 Buy a put Sell a put Exercise price = $50; option premium = $10 Sell a call –40

  19. 17.5 Option Quotes

  20. Option Quotes This option has a strike price of $135; a recent price for the stock is $138.25; July is the expiration month.

  21. Option Quotes This makes a call option with this exercise price in-the-money by $3.25 = $138¼ – $135. Puts with this exercise price are out-of-the-money.

  22. Option Quotes On this day, 2,365 call options with this exercise price were traded.

  23. Option Quotes The CALL option with a strike price of $135 is trading for $4.75. Since the option is on 100 shares of stock, buying this option would cost $475 plus commissions.

  24. Option Quotes On this day, 2,431 put options with this exercise price were traded.

  25. Option Quotes The PUT option with a strike price of $135 is trading for $.8125. Since the option is on 100 shares of stock, buying this option would cost $81.25 plus commissions.

  26. Puts and calls can serve as the building blocks for more complex option contracts. If you understand this, you can become a financial engineer, tailoring the risk-return profile to meet your client’s needs. 17.6 Combinations of Options

  27. Protective Put Strategy (Payoffs) Protective Put payoffs Value at expiry $50 Buy the stock Buy a put with an exercise price of $50 $0 Value of stock at expiry $50

  28. Protective Put Strategy (Profits) Value at expiry Buy the stock at $40 $40 Protective Put strategy has downside protection and upside potential $0 -$10 $40 $50 Buy a put with exercise price of $50 for $10 Value of stock at expiry -$40

  29. $10 -$30 Covered Call Strategy Value at expiry Buy the stock at $40 Covered Call strategy $0 Value of stock at expiry $40 $50 Sell a call with exercise price of $50 for $10 -$40

  30. –20 Long Straddle Buy a call with exercise price of $50 for $10 40 Option payoffs ($) 30 Stock price ($) 40 60 30 70 Buy a put with exercise price of $50 for $10 $50 A Long Straddle only makes money if the stock price moves $20 away from $50.

  31. 20 Short Straddle This Short Straddle only loses money if the stock price moves $20 away from $50. Option payoffs ($) Sell a put with exercise price of $50 for $10 Stock price ($) 30 70 40 60 $50 –30 Sell a call with an exercise price of $50 for $10 –40

  32. E Portfolio value today = c0 + (1+ r)T bond Put-Call Parity: p0 + S0 = c0 + E/(1+ r)T Portfolio payoff Call Option payoffs ($) 25 Stock price ($) 25 Consider the payoffs from holding a portfolio consisting of a call with a strike price of $25 and a bond with a future value of $25.

  33. Put-Call Parity Portfolio payoff Portfolio value today = p0 + S0 Option payoffs ($) 25 Stock price ($) 25 Consider the payoffs from holding a portfolio consisting of a share of stock and a put with a $25 strike.

  34. Portfolio value today Portfolio value today = p0 + S0 E = c0 + Option payoffs ($) Option payoffs ($) (1+ r)T 25 25 Stock price ($) Stock price ($) 25 25 Put-Call Parity Since these portfolios have identical payoffs, they must have the same value today: hence Put-Call Parity: c0 + E/(1+r)T = p0 + S0

  35. The last section concerned itself with the value of an option at expiry. This section considers the value of an option prior to the expiration date. A much more interesting question. 17.7 Valuing Options

  36. Market Value American Call Profit ST Call Option payoffs ($) 25 Time value Intrinsic value ST E Out-of-the-money In-the-money loss C0 must fall within max (S0 – E, 0) <C0<S0.

  37. Option Value Determinants Call Put • Stock price + – • Exercise price – + • Interest rate + – • Volatility in the stock price + + • Expiration date + + The value of a call option C0 must fall within max (S0 – E, 0) <C0<S0. The precise position will depend on these factors.

  38. We will start with a binomial option pricing formula to build our intuition. Then we will graduate to the normal approximation to the binomial for some real-world option valuation. 17.8 An Option Pricing Formula

  39. S1 $28.75 = $25×(1.15) $21.25 = $25×(1 –.15) Binomial Option Pricing Model Suppose a stock is worth $25 today and in one period will either be worth 15% more or 15% less. S0= $25 today and in one year S1is either $28.75 or $21.25. The risk-free rate is 5%. What is the value of an at-the-money call option? S0 $25

  40. Binomial Option Pricing Model • A call option on this stock with exercise price of $25 will have the following payoffs. • We can replicate the payoffs of the call option with a levered position in the stock. S0 S1 C1 $28.75 $3.75 $25 $21.25 $0

  41. Binomial Option Pricing Model Borrow the present value of $21.25 today and buy 1 share. The net payoff for this levered equity portfolio in one period is either $7.50 or $0. The levered equity portfolio has twice the option’s payoff, so the portfolio is worth twice the call option value. S0 S1 debt portfolio C1 ( – ) = – $21.25 $7.50 $28.75 = $3.75 $25 – $21.25 $21.25 $0 = $0

  42. Binomial Option Pricing Model The value today of the levered equity portfolio is today’s value of one share less the present value of a $21.25 debt: S0 S1 debt portfolio C1 ( – ) = – $21.25 $7.50 $28.75 = $3.75 $25 – $21.25 $21.25 $0 = $0

  43. Binomial Option Pricing Model We can value the call option today as half of the value of the levered equity portfolio: S0 S1 debt portfolio C1 ( – ) = – $21.25 $7.50 $28.75 = $3.75 $25 – $21.25 $21.25 $0 = $0

  44. C0 $2.38 Binomial Option Pricing Model If the interest rate is 5%, the call is worth: S0 S1 debt portfolio C1 ( – ) = – $21.25 $7.50 $28.75 = $3.75 $25 – $21.25 $21.25 $0 = $0

  45. Binomial Option Pricing Model the replicating portfolio intuition. The most important lesson (so far) from the binomial option pricing model is: Many derivative securities can be valued by valuing portfolios of primitive securities when those portfolios have the same payoffs as the derivative securities.

  46. Swing of call D = Swing of stock Delta • This practice of the construction of a riskless hedge is called delta hedging. • The delta of a call option is positive. • Recall from the example: • The delta of a put option is negative.

  47. Delta • Determining the Amount of Borrowing: Value of a call = Stock price ×Delta – Amount borrowed $2.38 = $25 × ½ – Amount borrowed Amount borrowed = $10.12

  48. The Risk-Neutral Approach We could value the option, V(0), as the value of the replicating portfolio. An equivalent method is risk-neutral valuation: S(U), V(U) q S(0), V(0) 1- q S(D), V(D)

  49. The Risk-Neutral Approach S(0) is the value of the underlying asset today. S(U), V(U) q q is the risk-neutral probability of an “up” move. S(0), V(0) 1- q S(D), V(D) S(U) and S(D) are the values of the asset in the next period following an up move and a down move, respectively. V(U) and V(D) are the values of the option in the next period following an up move and a down move, respectively.

  50. S(U), V(U) q S(0), V(0) 1- q S(D), V(D) The Risk-Neutral Approach • The key to finding q is to note that it is already impounded into an observable security price: the value of S(0): A minor bit of algebra yields:
