CHAPTER 21 Option Valuation
Intrinsic value - profit that could be made if the option was immediately exercised Call: stock price - exercise price Put: exercise price - stock price Time value - the difference between the option price and the intrinsic value Option Values
Binomial Option Pricing: Text Example 120 10 100 C 90 0 Call Option Value X = 110 Stock Price
Binomial Option Pricing: Text Example Continued 30 Alternative Portfolio Buy 1 share of stock at $100 Borrow $81.82 (10% Rate) Net outlay $18.18 Payoff Value of Stock 90 120 Repay loan - 90 - 90 Net Payoff 0 30 18.18 0 Payoff Structure is exactly 3 times the Call
Binomial Option Pricing: Text Example Continued 30 30 18.18 3C 0 0 3C = $18.18 C = $6.06
Alternative Portfolio - one share of stock and 3 calls written (X = 110) Portfolio is perfectly hedged Stock Value 90 120 Call Obligation 0-30 Net payoff 90 90 Hence 100 - 3C = 90/(1 + rf) = 90/(1.1) = 81.82 3C = 100 – 81.82 = 18.18 Thus C = 6.06 Replication of Payoffs and Option Values
Number of stocks per option (H) H = (C+ - C-)/(S+ - S-) = (10 – 0)/(120 – 90) =1/3 Number of options per stock = 1/H = 3 Hedge Ratio (H)
Generalizing the Two-State Approach Assume that we can break the year into two six-month segments In each six-month segment the stock could increase by 10% or decrease by 5% Assume the stock is initially selling at 100 Possible outcomes: Increase by 10% twice Decrease by 5% twice Increase once and decrease once (2 paths)

Assume that we can break the year into three intervals For each interval the stock could increase by 5% or decrease by 3% Assume the stock is initially selling at 100 Expanding to Consider Three Intervals

Co = SoN(d1) - Xe-rTN(d2) d1 = [ln(So/X) + (r + 2/2)T] / (T1/2) d2 = d1 + (T1/2) where Co= Current call option value So= Current stock price N(d) = probability that a random draw from a normal distribution will be less than d Black-Scholes Option Valuation

Spreadsheet 21.1 Spreadsheet to Calculate Black-Scholes Option Values
Black-Scholes Model with Dividends The call option formula applies to stocks that pay dividends One approach is to replace the stock price with a dividend adjusted stock price Replace S0 with S0 - PV (Dividends)
Put Value Using Black-Scholes P = Xe-rT [1-N(d2)] - S0 [1-N(d1)] Using the sample call data S = 100 r = .10 X = 95 g = .5 T = .25 95e-10x.25(1-.5714)-100(1-.6664) = 6.35
P = C + PV (X) - So = C + Xe-rT - So Using the example data C = 13.70 X = 95 S = 100 r = .10 T = .25 P = 13.70 + 95 e -.10 X .25 - 100 P = 6.35 Put Option Valuation: Using Put-Call Parity
Hedging: Hedge ratio or delta The number of stocks required to hedge against the price risk of holding one option Call = N (d1) Put = N (d1) - 1 Option Elasticity Percentage change in the option’s value given a 1% change in the value of the underlying stock Using the Black-Scholes Formula
Buying Puts - results in downside protection with unlimited upside potential Limitations Tracking errors if indexes are used for the puts Maturity of puts may be too short Hedge ratios or deltas change as stock values change Portfolio Insurance

Hedging On Mispriced Options Option value is positively related to volatility: If an investor believes that the volatility that is implied in an option’s price is too low, a profitable trade is possible Profit must be hedged against a decline in the value of the stock Performance depends on option price relative to the implied volatility
Hedging and Delta The appropriate hedge will depend on the delta Recall the delta is the change in the value of the option relative to the change in the value of the stock Change in the value of the option Change of the value of the stock Delta =
Mispriced Option: Text Example Implied volatility = 33% Investor believes volatility should = 35% Option maturity = 60 days Put price P = $4.495 Exercise price and stock price = $90 Risk-free rate r = 4% Delta = -.453
