3 FAIR PRICING There is a market for an object called S. The prevailing price today is S 0 = 100. At this price the object S can be bought or sold by anyone for any number. A person buying the object S today must pay 100 now, and a person selling the object S will receive 100 now. It is common knowledge that the prevailing price tomorrow S 1 will either be S 1 (u) = 125 if the market for S is up or S 1 (d) = 80 if the market for S is down. A person who purchases a unit of S today will receive either 125 or 80 tomorrow (depending on the outcome), and the person who sells a unit of S today is obligated to buy back a unit of S at the new prevailing market price (125 or 80). There is also a market for an object called C. It may be bought or sold by anyone for any number. A person who buys the object C today must pay $C 0 now, and a person who sells the object C will receive $C 0 now. A person who buys C today has the option but not the obligation to buy 1 unit of the object S tomorrow at today s market price of 100. A person who sells C today has the obligation of supplying a unit of S tomorrow for the price of 100 if a holder of a C wishes to exercise his option. There is also a market for dollars, the so-called money market M. A person who buys m dollars today receives m dollars today and owes (1.10)m tomorrow; that is, the person is taking out a loan. A person who sells m dollars today must give m dollars today (to the person buying), and will receive (1.10)m the next period; that is, when a person sells dollars today, they are acting like a banker in that they are loaning money to the person buying. QUESTION: How much is a unit of C worth to you? How do you assess its value? 3

However, he wishes to price a European put option on the same stock with the same strike price and maturity. He knows that the risk-free rate is 2.50% per year, but he is stuck because he does not know the log-volatility σ upon which he would calculate the value of U. He comes to you for help. What say you?

The stock prices and interest rates are provided in Table 1. Consider the European option whose final payoffs are V 2 = max{s 2 7, 0}. Determine the value of this option at times 0 and 1. 25

Otherwise, all the calculations are the same, since at each node the replicating portfolio and corresponding risk-neutral discounted expectation ideas still apply. The solution is provided in Table 2. 26
27 Asian Option Consider a non-dividend paying stock S whose price process follows a binomial lattice with U = 2 and D = 0.5. R = 1.25 and S 0 = 4. Define Y t := t S k, t = 0, 1, 2, 3 k=0 to be the sum of the stock prices between times zero and t. 1. Consider a (European) Asian call option that expires at time three and has a strike price K = 4; that is, its payoff at time three is { Y3 } max 4 4, 0. This is like a European call option, except the payoff of the option is based on the average stock price rather than the final stock price. Let V t (s, y) denote the price of this option at time n if S t = s and Y t = y. In particular, { y } V 3 (s, y) = max 4 4, 0. (a) Develop an algorithm for computing V t recursively. In particular, write a formula for V t in terms of V t+1. (b) Apply the algorithm developed in (a) to compute V 0 (4, 4), the price of the Asian option at time zero. (c) Provide a formula for δ t (s, y), the number of shares of stock that should be held by the replicating portfolio at time t if S t = s and Y t = y. 2. What is the value of a (European) Asian put option that expires at time three and has a strike price K = 4; that is, its payoff at time three is { max 4 Y } 3 4, 0. 27

(b) V 3 (32, 60) = 11; V 3 (8, 36) = 5; V 3 (8, 24) = 2; V 3 (2, 18) = 0.5; V 3 (8, 18) = 0.5; V 3 (2, 12) = V 3 (2, 9) = V 3 (0.5, 7.5) = 0. V 2 (16, 28) = (1/1.25)[0.5(11) + 0.5(5)] = V 2 (4, 16) = (1/1.25)[0.5(2) + 0.5(0.5)] = 1.0. V 2 (4, 10) = (1/1.25)[0.5(0.5) + 0.5(0)] = V 2 (1, 7) = (1/1.25)[0.5(0) + 0.5(0)] = 0. V 1 (8, 12) = (1/1.25)[0.5(6.4) + 0.5(1.0)] = V 1 (2, 6) = (1/1.25)[0.5(0.2) + 0.5(0)] = (c) V 0 (4, 4) = (1/1.25)[0.5(2.96) + 0.5(0.08)] = Remark. The value of this Asian option, 1.216, equals the discounted expectation of the final payoffs using the risk-free rate and the risk-neutral probability, i.e., (1.25) 3. 8 Simulation is an especially useful computational approach for valuing pathdependent, European-style derivative securities, since their value can be obtained as a (discounted) sample average of the value along a sample path. δ t (s, y) = V t+1(us, y + us) V t+1 (ds, y + ds).

29 No Arbitrage Bounds Consider a family of call options on a non-dividend paying stock, each option being identical except for its strike price. The value of the call with strike price K is denoted by C(K). Prove the following two general relations using arbitrage arguments: 1. If K 2 > K 1, then K 2 K 1 C(K 1 ) C(K 2 ). 2. If K 3 > K 2 > K 1, then C(K 2 ) ( K3 K ) ( 2 K2 K ) 1 C(K 1 ) + C(K 3 ). K 3 K 1 K 3 K 1 Hint: For both parts find a portfolio that is guaranteed to have no negative but sometimes positive final payoffs. If there is to be no arbitrage, such a portfolio must cost something to acquire today. In each part plot the final payoffs for each portfolio, otherwise known as the payoff diagram. 29
30 Solution: For both parts below one finds a portfolio that is guaranteed to have no negative but sometimes positive final payoffs. If there is to be no arbitrage, such a portfolio must cost something to acquire today. In each case below it will be instructive to plot the final payoffs for each portfolio, otherwise known as the payoff diagram. 1. Verify that the portfolio C(K 1 ) + C(K 2 ) + (K 2 K 1 ) has no negative but sometimes positive final payoffs. Hence, its cost today must be nonnegative, which establishes the result. 2. Consider the portfolio mc(k 1 ) C(K 2 ) + nc(k 3 ) with m, n > 0 and m < 1. This portfolio s final payoffs are zero if S T K 1 and will be positive on the interval K 1 S T K 2. Since m < 1 the payoffs decline on the interval K 2 S T K 3. If we set m so that m(k 3 K 1 ) = (K 3 K 2 ), then the payoffs will remain nonnegative in the interval K 2 S T K 3. In particular, the payoff when S T = K 3 will be zero. If we further set n so that m + n = 1, the final payoffs will be zero on the interval S T K 3. We conclude that the portfolio ( K3 K ) ( 2 K2 K ) 1 C(K 1 ) C(K 2 ) + C(K 3 ) K 3 K 1 K 3 K 1 has no negative but sometimes positive final payoffs. nonnegative, which establishes the result. Hence, its cost today must be 30

A European Asian put option that expires at time t = 2 and has strike price K = 104 has its payoff at time t = 2 equal to max{104 - Y 2 /3, 0}. (This is like a European put option, except that the payoff of this option is based on the average stock price rather than the final stock price.) Determine the no-arbitrage value of this path-dependent option. 11. Consider a binomial lattice with S 0 = 4, U = 2 and D = The risk-free rate if 25%.

37 FINANCIAL OPTION ANALYSIS SAMPLE PROBLEM SOLUTIONS 1. a. R S = [0.6(28) + 0.4(14)]/20-1 = b. Since [0.5(28) + 0.5(14)]/1.05 = 20, q = 0.5. V 0 = [0.5(126) + 0.5(84)]/1.05 = 100. c. r V = [0.6(126) + 0.4(84)]/100-1 = or 9.2%. e. (126-84)/(28-14) = 3. So h = 3. Thus, replicating portfolio is (3S, 40M). e. 60/100 is invested in S, so w S = 0.6 and w M = 0.4. f. 0.6(12) + 0.4(5) = a. R S = [0.7(50) + 0.3(30)]/40-1 = b. Since [0.55(50) (30)]/1.025 = 40, q = V 0 = [0.55(100) (50)]/1.025 = c. R V = [0.7(100) + 0.3(50)]/ = or 12.42%. e. (100-50)/(50-30) = 2.5. So h = 2.5. Thus, replicating portfolio is (2.5S, M). e. 100/75.61 is invested in S, so w S = and w M = f (10) (2.5) = a. t = 0 t = 1 t = [43.182] [66.25] = 80 [6.061] 100 [10] [2/3(43.182)+1/3(6.061)]/1.1 since exercise value = 0 64 [0] b. [(4/9)(66.25)+(4/9)(10)]/(1.1) 2 = c. 90/(1.1) 2 = S + P C = P P = a. t = 0 t = 1 t = [0] [0] 3.03 = 1/3(10)/1.1 80* [10] 100 [0] since 10 > 1/3(26)/ [26] b. (1/9)(26)/(1.1) 2 = c. 90/(1.1) 2 = S + P C = C. C = U = exp[0.60(0.25) 1/2 ] = q = [exp(0.025*0.25) ]/[ ] = U = exp[0.80(0.50) 1/2 ] = q = [exp(0.040*0.50) ]/[ ] =
38 7. a. Note: Objective probabilities are in parentheses (0.622) (0.80) (1S, 3.36M) (0.377) (-0.185S, 151.3M) (0.64) (0.20) (-1S, M) (0.36) b. [185(0.80*0.622) (0.80* *0.64) (0.20*0.36)] / (1.2) 2 = c. Derivative security is overpriced, so you would want to sell it. Collect 150 and use of it to purchase the replicating portfolio of ( S, M). Invest the in the bank or buy lunch. If the price goes up next period to 130, rebalance the portfolio to (1S, 3.36M), which you can afford to do since it will cost and this is precisely what the portfolio ( S, M) equals when the price = 130. If the price goes down next period to 80, rebalance the portfolio to ( 1S, M), which you can afford to do by the same reasoning as before. Finally, when period 2 comes around, your updated portfolio will exactly match the final payoffs of the derivative security (185, or 167.5) regardless of the final state and so you will be able to meet your obligations. (If you were forced to buy back the derivative security at time 1, you would have the exact money to do so.) 38
39 8. a. Note: Objective probabilities are in parentheses (0.7) (0.525) (0.1195S, M) (0.3) 0 ( S, M) 0.35 (0.42) (0.475) ( S, M) 0.65 (0.58) b [(0.525)(0.7) + (0.475)(0.58)] / (1.12) 2 = c. Derivative security is underpriced, so you would want to buy it. Sell the RP for , i.e., acquire the portfolio ( S, M), and buy the derivative security for Collect and invest it in the bank. If the price goes up next period to 150, you owe Purchase the new RP of ( S, M), collect and pay off the obligation. If the price goes down next period to 80, you owe Purchase the new RP of (0.1195S, M), collect and pay off the obligation. Finally, when period 2 comes around, your updated portfolio s obligation will exactly match the final payoffs of the derivative security (8.3667, 0 or ) regardless of the final state, and so you will be able to meet your obligations. 9. There are four possible paths. The payoffs in the states uu, ud, du, dd are, respectively, 0, 25, 0, 36. Thus, the time 0 no-arbitrage value is [(2/3)(0.5)(25)]/(1.1)(1.025) + [(1/3)(0.5)(36)]/(1.1)(1.025) = There are four possible paths. The average values along the uu, ud, du, and dd paths are, respectively, , , 94, and 79. The values of the Asian put option for these paths are, respectively, 0, 0, 10, and 25. The q probability of path du is (0.5)(0.6) = 0.3, and the q probability of path dd is (0.5)(0.4) = 0.2. Therefore, the time 0 no-arbitrage value is [(0.3)(10) + (0.2)(25)]/(1.05) 2 = a. The final payoffs of this lookback option in states uuu, uud, udu, udd, duu, dud, ddu, ddd are, respectively, 32-32=0, 16-8=8, 8-8=0, 8-2=6, 8-8=0, 4-2=2, 4-2=2, 4-0.5=3.5. Since the q probability is 0.5, the time 0 no-arbitrage value is [( )/8]/ = b. To determine the RP at time t = 0, we have to find the time 1 no-arbitrage values of this lookback option. The time 1 value when S = 8 is [( )/4]/ = 2.24, and the time 1 value when S = 2 is [( )/4]/ = (Notice how [0.5(2.24)+0.5(1.20)]/1.25 = 1.376, as it should.) So, the RP is (0.1733S, M). 39
40 12. Stock price paths option value over time uu: ud: du: dd: 16 0 Risk-neutral probability q 1 = 0.43 and q 2 = = max{ [0.52(45) (0)]/1.1, } = max{ [0.52(12) (0)]/1.1, } = [0.43( ) (5.6727)]/ Stock price paths option value over time uu: ud: du: 36 12* 0 dd: Risk-neutral probability q 1 = 0.43 and q 2 = = max{ [0.52(0) (18)]/1.1, }. 12 = max{ [0.52(0) (18)]/1.1, }. (Exercise.) = [0.43(7.8545) (12)]/ First four securities show that q = 0.5. To be consistent, the value S9 = [0.5(385) + 0.5(245)]/1.05 = 300, which is less than 305. The portfolio (10S1, 100S2) replicates S9 and costs 300. So sell S9 for 305 and buy this replicating portfolio for 300, and pocket the difference of a. Since S2 does not payoff in either state 1 or 2 only S1 and S3 can be used to replicate the payoffs of the Vector V in these two states. (S3 is of course our old friend M.) We re back to the (hs1, M) : here, h = ( )/( ) = 1 and M = S3 = 200. Now use state 3 to pin down the number of units of S2 to hold: 176(S2) + 1.1(200) = 44 S2 = -1. Thus, the replicating portfolio is (1S1, 1S2, 200S3) for a cost today of 220. b. Let q = (q 1, q 2, q 3 ) denote the risk-neutral probability vector. Obviously R = 1.1. Discounted expectation using q and R applied to S2 implies that (1/1.1)176q 3 = 80 q 3 = 0.5. Thus, q 1 + q 2 = 0.5. Discounted expectation using q and R applied to S1 implies that (1/1.1)[200q q 2 ] = 100 q 1 =q 2 = Risk-neutral valuation says that (1/R)E q [V] = (1/R) q T V = p for any vector V. Thus, the value of V is (1/1.1)[0.25(420) (460) + 0.5(44)] = 220, which coincides with the answer in part (a), as it should. 40
41 16. a. We can use the first four assets to determine the state-prices. The equations are: 125y y 2 = y y 2 = 60. These equations imply that y 1 = 4/11, y 2 = 2/11. 28y y 4 = y y 4 = 40. These equations imply that y 3 = 4/21, y 4 = 4/21. Now we can use these state-prices to determine the no-arbitrage value of asset 5 as: (4/11)22 + (2/11)11 + (4/21)21 + (4/21)42 = 22. Since this IS the price of asset 5, this market does NOT exhibit arbitrage. b. Recall that the reciprocal of the sum of the state-prices equals = 1 + r f. Thus, 1+r f = 1/(4/11 + 2/11 + 4/21 + 4/21) = 231/214 = r f = 7.94%. Alternatively, one can easily combine assets 3 and 4 to obtain a constant payoff vector. For example, a purchase of 1 unit of asset 3 and 110/105 units of asset 4 yields a constant payoff of 110. The cost of this portfolio is 60(1) + 40(110/105) = Thus, the total return on the risk-free security is 110/ = , same as above, as it should. 17. a. The equations are: 26y y 2 = y y 2 = 10. These equations imply that y 1 = 10/21, y 2 = 10/21. b. 80 = 68y 1 + Zy 2 = 68(10/21) + Z(10/21). So, Z = 100. c. R = 1/(y 1 + y 2 ) = So risk-free rate is 5% in this market. 41

The mean and median values are the same for a normally distributed random variable, and so the median value of ln[s(0.25)/s(0)] is 0.03, which implies the median value for S(0.25) is 100*exp(0.03) = c. ln [S(t)/S(0)] := X(t) ~ N(υt, σ 2 t), where υ = µ - 0.5*σ 2 = S(t) = S(0)exp[X(t)].

E[S(t) 2 ] = S(0) 2 E[exp(2X(t))] = S(0) 2 exp[2υt + 2σ 2 t] = 10000exp[ ] = (when t = 0.25). Var[S(0.25)] = ( ) 2 = Stdev[S(0.25)] = d. p = 0.5(1 + (0.12/0.40)(1/12) 1/2 ) = For a simulated stock price at the end of the 12 th month to have a value of 100, there must have been exactly 6 up and 6 down transitions. The probability of this occurrence is therefore ( 12 C 6 )*(0.5433) 6 (0.4567) 6 = a. E[S(0.50)] = S(0)exp(0.12*0.50) = b. υ = 0.12 (0.60) 2 /2 = ln[s(0.50)/s(0)] ~ Normal with mean = (-0.06)(0.50) and variance = (0.60) 2 (0.50). The mean and median values are the same for a normally distributed random variable, and so the median value of ln[s(0.50)/s(0)] is -0.06, which implies the median value for S(0.50) is 100*exp(-0.06) = c. ln [S(t)/S(0)] := X(t) ~ N(υt, σ 2 t), where υ = µ - 0.5*σ 2 = S(t) = S(0)exp[X(t)]. E[S(t)] = S(0)E[exp(X(t))] = S(0)exp[υt + 0.5σ 2 t] = 100exp[-0.06(0.50) + 0.5(0.36)(0.50)] (when t = 0.50) = 100exp(0.06) = (Same answer as part a.) E[S(t) 2 ] = S(0) 2 E[exp(2X(t))] = S(0) 2 exp[2υt + 2σ 2 t] = 10000exp[ ] = (when t = 0.50). Var[S(0.50)] = ( ) 2 = Stdev[S(0.50)] = d. p = 0.5(1 + (-0.06/0.60)(2/12) 1/2 ) = For a simulated stock price at the end of the 12 th month to have a value of 100, there must have been exactly 3 up and 3 down transitions. (Period length = 2 months.) The probability of this occurrence is therefore ( 6 C 3 )*(0.4796) 3 (0.5204) 3 = e. d 1 = [ln(100/105) + ( /2)(0.50)]/[0.60(0.50) 1/2 ] = d 2 = (0.50) 1/2 = Kexp(-rT) = 105exp(-0.025(0.50)) = C = 100Φ(0.1266) Φ( ). f.
