4 Pricing and Assumptions The option pricing The question is simple: How should the price of an option be determined? The pricing of options is a very important and challenging problem in finance. Assumptions Throughout the following sections, we are going to impose the following standard assumptions: 1 There is no arbitrage opportunity in the market. 2 There are no transaction costs. 3 Borrowing and lending at the same risk-free interest rate is possible. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
5 Main Factors that Affect Option Pricing Option pricing... first steps We should first ask: Which are the main factors that affect the option prices? Main factors Price of the underlying asset. Strike price. Risk-free interest rate. Volatility of the underlying asset price. Dividend paid by the underlying asset until maturity. Time to maturity. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
6 Notation S(t): Spot price at time t. K: Strike price. T t: Time to maturity. r: Risk-free interest rate (continuously compounded). D(t): Present value (at time t) of dividend given by the underlying asset until maturity T. q: Dividend yield given by the underlying asset until maturity. c(t): Price of the European call option at time t. p(t): Price of the European put option at time t. C(t): Price of the American call option at time t. P(t): Price of the American put option at time t. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
7 Option Price vs Spot Price Intrinsic value of a call option = max{s(t) K, 0}. Call options become more valuable as the spot price increases. Call options become less valuable as the strike price increases. Intrinsic value of a put option = max{k S(t), 0}. Put options become less valuable as the spot price increases. Put options become more valuable as the strike price increases. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
8 Option Price vs Spot Price M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
9 Option Price vs Strike Price M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
10 Option Price vs Risk-free Interest Rate As the risk-free interest rate increases, the present value of the strike price decreases. Normally, The buyer of the call option is going to pay this amount. The buyer of the put option is going to receive this amount. Hence, an increase in interest rates (ceteris paribus) means: Increase of the call option prices. Decrease of the put option prices. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
11 Option Price vs Risk-free Interest Rate M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
12 Option Price vs Volatility What is volatility? The volatility, usually denoted by σ, is defined so that σ t is the standard deviation of the return of the underlying asset price in a short length of time t. Facts about volatility Volatility is a measure of the uncertainty (riskness) on the future prices of the underlying asset. As volatility increases, the chances that the stock price will move substantially (upwards or downwards) increases. The volatility of the price of the underlying asset is its most... interesting feature. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
13 Option Price vs Volatility, cont d Volatility and option prices As the volatility increases: the owner of the call benefits when price of the underlying increases, but has limited downside risk when the price of the underlying decreases, similarly, the owner of the put benefits when price of the underlying decreases, but has limited downside risk when the price of the underlying increases. As volatility increases both call and put price increase. This effect is more intense for ATM options. (why?) M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
14 Option Price vs Volatility M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
15 Option Price vs Dividend Dividends reduce the price of the underlying asset on the ex-dividend date. This simply means that: Anticipated dividend is negatively related to the call option. Anticipated dividend is positively related to the put option. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
16 Option Price vs Dividend M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
17 Option Price vs Time to Maturity Three simultaneous effects An increase on the time-to-maturity affects the option prices in three ways: 1 More time to maturity means more (aggregated) volatility. This increases c(t) and p(t). 2 More time to maturity means more interest rate involved. This increases c(t) and decreases p(t). 3 More time to maturity means more dividend paid. This decreases c(t) and increases p(t). The net result of the above influences is not known a priori. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
18 Option Price vs Time to Maturity (example) M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
19 American Call Options and Time to Maturity The dividend factor There are two cases: When no dividend is paid, an increase in time to maturity increases the American call option price. In fact, as we will see, there is an equality between the price of the European and the American call, in the case of no dividend. When dividend is paid, an increase in time to maturity increases the American call option price up to ex-dividend day. Theoretically, as we will see, this is the only case to consider the early exercise of an American call. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
20 American Put Options and Time to Maturity The dividend factor Again we have two cases: When no dividend is paid and the effect of interest rate is greater than the oppositely directed effect of volatility, P decreases which means that an early exercise is preferable. Otherwise, P increases, which means that the early exercise is not profitable. When dividend is paid, the early exercise is preferable after the ex-dividend date. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
21 A Synopsis The following table shows the effect on the option prices that an increase of the corresponding factor has (ceteris paribus). Variable c(t) p(t) C(t) P(t) S(t) K T Depends Depends σ r D(t) M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49

23 Call Option Bounds Upper bounds c(t) S(t) and C(t) S(t) If we assume that this is not the case, a clear arbitrage opportunity emerges: Now: Sell the option and buy the stock: c(t) S(t) > 0. At maturity: Total payoff = S(T ) max{s(t ) K, 0} > 0. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
24 Call Option Bounds cont d Lower bounds c(t) max{s(t) Ke r(t t), 0} and C(t) max{s(t) Ke r(t t), 0} It is clear that c(t), C(t) 0, since they are...options. Suppose that c(t) < S(t) Ke r(t t). This is an arbitrage: Now: Buy the call option, short the stock and invest in risk-free rate Ke r(t t). This gives S(t) Ke r(t t) c(t) > 0 now. At maturity: Total payoff = max{s(t ) K, 0} S(T ) + K 0. Which assumptions have been used for the above bounds? M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
25 Put Option Bounds Upper bounds p(t) Ke r(t t) and P(t) K If we assume that p(t) > Ke r(t t), a clear arbitrage opportunity emerges: Now: Sell the option and invest Ke r(t t) in risk-free interest rate. This gives p(t) Ke r(t t) > 0 now. At maturity: Total payoff = K max{k S(T ), 0} > 0. Why K and not Ke r(t t) for the American put option? M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
26 Put Option Bounds cont d Lower bounds p(t) max{ke r(t t) S(t), 0} and P(t) max{k S(t), 0} It is clear that p(t), P(t) 0, since they are...options. Suppose that p(t) < Ke r(t t) S(t). This is an arbitrage: Now: Buy the put option, buy the stock and borrow in risk-free rate Ke r(t t). This gives Ke r(t t) p(t) S(t) > 0 now. At maturity: Total payoff = max{k S(T ), 0} + S(T ) K 0. A slight change in the case of American put option price: If P(t) < K S(t), the clear arbitrage opportunity is to buy the option, buy the stock, borrow K and instantly exercise the option and return the money to the bank. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
27 Option Prices and their Bounds
28 Put-Call Parity Two interesting portfolios We can use non-arbitrage arguments to find an exact relation between the prices of European call and European put option written on the same asset, strike price and maturity. Consider the following two portfolios: Portfolio A: Portfolio B: Long one European call option written on the stock and invest Ke r(t t) in the free-risk interest until T. Long one European put option and buy one stock at S(t). The cost of Portfolio A is c(t) + Ke r(t t). The cost of Portfolio B is p(t) + S(t). At time T Payoff of Portfolio A is max{s(t ) K, 0} + K. Payoff of Portfolio B is max{k S(T ), 0} + S(T ). M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
29 Put-Call Parity, cont d Relation between the put and the call prices Payoff of Portfolio A = Payoff of Portfolio B The non-arbitrage assumption implies that their costs should be equal, in other words: c(t) + Ke r(t t) = p(t) + S(t) This is the (famous) put-call parity for European options. If we know the price of a European call, we know the price of the similar European put. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
30 Put-Call Parity, cont d What put-call parity gives: A clear non-arbitrage relation between the call and the put price. The way to exploit the arbitrage opportunity that emerges if this parity does not hold. A way to extract the risk-free interest rate that is used. And some more that are coming... M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
31 Put-Call Parity for American Options As we have mentioned, the put-call parity holds only for the European options. It is also possible to derive the following relation between the American options (with no dividend involved): The proof is left as an exercise. r(t t) S(t) K C(t) P(t) S(t) Ke M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
32 Early Exercise of American Calls: No Dividend Never exercise American call when there is no dividend It is never optimal to exercise an American call option before maturity if the underlying asset does not give any dividend until the maturity. Why is that? Consider for instance an American Call option on a non-dividend-paying stock with one month to maturity and S(0) = $50 and K = $40 (deep in the money). The option owner has the following choices: (A) Exercise the option now and keep the stock until maturity. But it is better to wait and exercise the option at maturity because: He losses interest on $40 for one month (note that there is no dividend given by the stock). There might be a decrease in the stock price below $40. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
33 Early Exercise of American Calls: No Dividend cont d Why is that? (cont d) (B) Exercise the option now and sell the stock, which results a payoff of $10 now. In this case, it is better to just sell the option since: C(t) S(t) Ke r(t t) > S(t) K = $10. No-dividend means: Hence, if the underlying asset does not give any dividend until maturity, it holds that: c(t) = C(t) M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
34 Early Exercise of American Puts: No Dividend It may be optimal to exercise American put even when there is no dividend Consider for instance an American put option on a non dividend paying stock with one month to maturity and S(t) = $30 and K = $40 (deep in the money). The option owner has the right to exercise the option and get $10 now and invest them until time T. By doing so the option owner: exploits the difference K S(t), which may be lower afterwards, but losses any further increase of this difference. Generally, there is a value S (t), and when S(t) is below S (t), the owner exercises the put. It is more attractive to exercise an American put option when: Stock price decreases. Interest rate increases. Volatility decreases. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
35 Dividend and Lower Bounds European call Suppose that the asset is going to give dividend until maturity. c(t) max{s(t) D(t) Ke r(t t), 0} or c(t) max{s(t)e q(t t) Ke r(t t), 0} It is clear that c(t) 0, since they are...options. Suppose that c(t) < S(t) D(t) Ke r(t t). This is an arbitrage: Now: Buy the call option, short the stock and invest in risk-free rate D(t) + Ke r(t t). This gives S(t) D(t) Ke r(t t) c(t) > 0 now. At maturity: Total payoff = max{s(t ) K, 0} S(T ) + K 0. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
36 Dividend and Lower Bounds European put Suppose that the asset is going to give dividend until maturity. p(t) max{d(t) + Ke r(t t) S(t), 0} or p(t) max{ke r(t t) S(t)e q(t t), 0} It is clear that p(t) 0, since they are...options. Suppose that p(t) < D(t) + Ke r(t t) S(t). This is an arbitrage: Now: Buy the put option, buy a stock and borrow in risk-free rate D(t) + Ke r(t t). This gives D(t) + Ke r(t t) p(t) S(t) > 0 now. At maturity: Total payoff = max{k S(T ), 0} + S(T ) K 0. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
37 Dividend and Put-Call Parity European call Similar arguments as in the case of no dividend imply that: c(t) + Ke r(t t) = p(t) + S(t) D(t) or c(t) + Ke r(t t) q(t t) = p(t) + S(t)e American call Similarly, for the American type: r(t t) S(t) D(t) K C(t) P(t) S(t) Ke The proof of the above is an exercise. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
38 Dividend and Early Exercise American call In the case of dividend, it may be optimal for the call option owner to early exercise his option, since when the dividend is given the price of the underlying asset jumps down and this may send the option out of the money. American put When dividend is anticipated, the American put owner usually exercises his option after the dividend is distributed. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49

40 Bull and Bear Spreads The spread A spread trading strategy involves taking a position in two or more options of the same type. Depending on which stock prices the spread gives profit, the spreads are bull spreads and bear spreads. The bull spread The bull spread is created by buying a call option on a stock with certain strike price and selling a call option on the same stock with a higher strick price. This strategy has small cost and anticipates (limited) profit if stock price increases. The bear spread The bear spread is created by buying a call option on a stock with certain strike price and selling a call option on the same stock with a lower strick price. This strategy has small cost and anticipates (limited) profit if stock price decreases. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
41 Bull and Bear Spreads
42 Call Options with Different Strikes Another arbitrage bound Note that for strike prices K 1 < K 2, it holds that: 0 < c(t; K 1 ) c(t; K 2 ), where c(t; K 1 ) is the European call option price with strike price K 1 and c(t; K 2 ) is the European call option price with strike price K 2. But we also have an upper bound of this difference: c(t; K 1 ) c(t; K 2 ) e r(t t) (K 2 K 1 ) M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
43 Two Call Options with Different Strikes cont d Non-arbitrage proof Suppose that c(t; K 1 ) c(t; K 2 ) > e r(t t) (K 2 K 1 ). Here is the emerged arbitrage: Now: Buy call with strike price K 2, short the call with strike price K 1 and invest e r(t t) (K 2 K 1 ) in the bank. This gives now c(t; K 1 ) c(t; K 2 ) e r(t t) (K 2 K 1 ) > 0. At maturity there are three possible cases: 1 If S(T ) < K 1, Payoff = (K 2 K 1 ) > 0. 2 If K 1 S(T ) < K 2, Payoff = K 2 S(T ) > 0. 3 If S(T ) K 2, Payoff = 0. In any case, we start with something positive and end up in something non-negative, which means that we have an arbitrage. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
44 The Butterfly Spread Profit from small stock price movement The butterfly spread involves positions in options with three different strike prices. It can be created by: buying a call option with a relatively low strike price K 1, buying a call option with a relatively high strike price K 3 and shorting two call options with strike price K 2 = K1+K3 2. A butterfly spread leads to a (limited) profit when the stock price stays close to K 2 and it has a small cost. Profit from large stock price movement A reverse butterfly spread gives profit when there is a significant movement of the stock price in any direction. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
45 Butterfly Spreads
46 Three Call Options with Different Strike Prices An non-arbitrage inequality For strike prices K 1 < K 3 and K 2 = K1+K3 2, it holds that: c(t; K 2 ) 1 2 (c(t; K 1) + c(t; K 3 )) where c(t; K i ) is the European call option price with strike price K i. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
47 Three Call Options with Different Strike Prices Non-arbitrage proof Suppose that c(t; K 2 ) > 1 2 (c(t; K 1) + c(t; K 3 )). Here is the emerged arbitrage: Now: Buy call options with strike prices K 1 and K 3 and short two call option with strike price K 2. This gives now 2c(t; K 2 ) c(t; K 1 ) c(t; K 1 ) > 0. At maturity there are four possible cases: 1 If S(T ) < K 1, Payoff = 0. 2 If K 1 S(T ) < K 2, Payoff = S(T ) K 1 > 0. 3 If K 2 < S(T ) K 3, Payoff = K 3 S(T ) > 0. 4 If K 3 < S(T ), Payoff = 0. In any case, we start with something positive and end up in something non-negative, i.e., an arbitrage. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
48 Strip and Strap A strip A strip consists of: a long position in a call option. a long position in two put options with the same strike price and the same maturity. It anticipates profit with a large movement of the stock price, especially when it has negative direction. A strap A strap consists of: a long position in two call options. a long position in a put option with the same strike price and the same maturity. It anticipates profit with a large movement of the stock price, especially when it has positive direction. M. Anthropelos (Un. of Piraeus) Intro to Option Pricing Spring / 49
