6 A First Example of No Arbitrage 1 Consider a forward contract that obliges us to hand over an amount $F at time T to receive the underlying asset. Today s date is t and the price of the asset is currently $S(t) (this is the spot price). When we get to maturity, we will hand over the amount $F and receive the asset, then worth $S(T). Is there any relationship among F, S(t), t and T? Derivatives: The Theory and Practice of Financial Engineering. Paul Wilmott. John Wiley & Sons
7 A First Example of No Arbitrage 1 Enter into the forward contract, and sell the asset simultaneously. Selling something one does not own is called going short. Put the cash (S(t)) in the bank to get interest. At maturity, we hand over F to receive the asset, hence canceling our short asset position. Our net position is therefore S(t)e r(t-t) F or S(t) (1+r) T-t F F = S(t)e r(t-t) or F = S(t) (1+r) T-t 12-7

11 The Building Blocks of Contingent Decisions The top row shows the payoffs from holding an asset that confers the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell at a fixed price. The payoffs in the bottom row are the mirror images and show the position of the party on the other side of the transaction. Real Options: Amram & Kulatilaka Figure

The payoffs to a forward are not contingent on a future decision (hence there is no kink) but do depend on the realized value of an uncertain asset (the line is sloped).

13 Identifying the Building Blocks in Red & White s Contract Suppose Red & White, a soft drink manufacturer, was offered a new sugar contract with a price floor of 90 cents per pound and a price cap of $1.10 per pound. Using the building-block approach, the contract can be seen as the sum of three parts: 1. Buy sugar on the world spot market. 2. Sell a put option with a strike price of $ Buy a call option with a strike price of 90 cents. Real Options: Amram & Kulatilaka Figure

16 Introduction to Options Currency options began trading on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange in 1982, while interest rate options began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in Since then, there has been expansion in many directions : more option exchanges around the world, more currencies and debt instruments on which options are traded, option contracts with longer maturities, more styles of option contracts, and greater volume of trading activity
17 Types of Contracts An option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or to sell) a fixed quantity of an underlying financial asset or commodity at a given price on (or on or before) a specified date. A call option bestows on the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying financial asset or commodity. A put option, conveys to the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying financial asset or commodity
18 Types of Contracts With currency options, there are two choices of the underlying financial asset : An option on spot takes spot foreign exchange as the underlying asset. Spot foreign exchange is transferred if such an option is exercised. If an option on futures is exercised, positions in the underlying currency futures contract are created: a long position (at the strike price) for the holder of a call or seller of a put, and a short position (at the strike price) for the holder of a put or seller of a call
19 Types of Contracts The owner of a futures call has the right to buy a futures, so the seller of a futures call must deliver a long position if the call is exercised (i.e., the seller takes a short position). The owner of a put has the right to sell a futures, so the seller of a futures put must deliver a short position (i.e., the seller takes a long position). Because futures contracts have zero-net supply, the underlying positions must be created before they can be delivered
20 Types of Contracts With interest rate options, the underlying contract is typically an interest rate futures. The interest rate can be taken from a 3-month Eurodollar deposit, a long-term Treasury bond, or some other interest-bearing instrument. The price specified in the contract is called the strike price or the exercise price. The maturity date specified in the option is called the expiration date. The price paid for the option is called the option premium
21 Examples Types of Contracts An American call option on spot DM : The right to buy DM 1 million for $0.63 per DM from today until expiration on Dec 15, A European put option on Swiss franc futures : The right to sell SFr 10 million March 1999 futures for $0.76 per SFr on (and only on) Mar 15, Note that US$ is used as the second currency or numeraire currency in both the above examples
22 Types of Contracts With the rise of significant trading volume in cross-exchange rates - notably the /, DM/, DM/, and DM against other European currency rates - options written in currency pairs that do not involve the US$ have been introduced. These cross-rate options gained further popularity after 1991 as exchange rate volatility among European currencies increased
23 Location of Trading Currency options are traded either among banks on an over-the-counter (OTC) basis or on organized futures and options exchanges. Over-the-counter (OTC) market -- An informal network of brokers and dealers who negotiate sales of securities

The strike prices (in US cents per DM). The German mark contract size (62,500 DM) is written at the top of each section. Consider this call option. The closing or settlement price was reported as 1.17 cents per DM. Since the contract size is 62,500 DM, the buyer of this call option would expect to pay 62,500x$0.0117=$ plus commission charges
26 Spot Currency Options: Prices at Maturity Consider the following call and put options on the : Each option has a strike price (K) of $1.50/ and an option premium of about $0.10. If we designate C and P as the values of the call and put prices, then at maturity: C = Max [0, S-K ] and P = Max [0, K-S ] (12.1) where S is the spot price of the at the maturity of the option. It is clear from the above equations that the value of an option can never be negative

28 Buyer and Seller of a Spot Currency Call on with Strike at $1.50/ For spot prices $1.50, the expiration value of the call is 0. The buyer suffers a loss - the $0.10 premium he originally paid for the call. At spot prices > $1.50, the expiration value of the option is positive (= S - $1.50), which reduces the call buyer s losses. The breakeven exchange rate is $1.60. The seller keeps the premium when the spot rate $1.50, because the call is not exercised. At spot rates > $1.50, the opportunity cost for the seller is

30 Buyer and Seller of a Spot Currency Put on with Strike at $1.50/ For spot prices $1.50, the expiration value of the put is 0. The buyer suffers a loss of $0.10. At spot prices < $1.50, the expiration value of the put is positive (= $ S) which reduces the put buyer s losses. The break-even exchange rate is $1.40. The seller earns the option premium when the spot rate $1.50, because the put is not exercised. At spot rates < $1.50, the seller s opportunity cost becomes
31 Spot Currency Options: Prices at Maturity Note that the buyer of either a put or call faces limited liability in that her loss is capped at the initial option premium paid. The seller of a call faces unlimited liability as the underlying asset could appreciate without limit. The seller of a put faces a large liability, which is limited by the fact that the price of the underlying cannot fall below zero
32 Interest Rate Futures Options: Prices at Maturity Consider the following call and put options on a Eurodollar interest rate futures contract : Each option has a strike price (K) of (corresponding to a 4.00 % Euro$ interest rate) and an option premium of about If we designate C f and P f as the values of the call and put prices, then at maturity: C f = Max [0, F-K ] and P f = Max [0, K-F ] (12.2) where F is the price of the underlying Eurodollar futures contract on the maturity of the option

34 Euro-$ Interest Rate Call with Strike at Note the inverse relationship between interest rates and futures prices. For futures prices (interest rates 4.00%), the expiration value of the call is 0. The buyer suffers a loss equal to the original premium paid for the option (25 basis points x $25/b.p. = $625). If the price at maturity > 96.00, the expiration value is positive (= F basis points), which reduces the call buyer s losses. The break-even Euro$ futures rate is (3.75% interest rate)

45 Use of a Butterfly Spread From the Trader s Desk A stock is currently selling for $61. The prices of call options expiring in 6 months are quoted as follows: Strike price = $55, call price = $10 Strike price = $60, call price = $7 Strike price = $65, call price = $5 An investor feels it is unlikely that the stock price will move significantly in the next 6 months. The Strategy The investor sets up a butterfly spread: 1. Buy one call with a $55 strike. 2. Buy one call with a $65 strike. 3. Sell two calls with a $60 strike. The cost is $10 + $5 - (2 x $7) = $1. The strategy leads to a net loss (maximum $1) if the stock price moves outside the $56-to-$64 range but leads to a profit if it stays within this range. The maximum profit of $4 is realized if the stock price is $60 on the expiration date

65 PUT-CALL-FORWARD PARITY 5. Using the Put-Call-Forward Parity, demonstrate that the price of a call with the strike price equal to the futures price is equal to the price of a put with the same strike price and the same maturity. SOLUTION: Put-Call-Forward Parity tells us that: C - P = (F 0,T - X) / exp(r d T) If the strike price equals the futures price, or X = F 0,T, then C - P = 0, or C = P. Therefore, for a strike price equals to the futures price, the price of the call and the price of the put are equal
66 6. Suppose call options on the DM with a strike price of $0.63/DM and maturity of one month are traded at $0.01/DM. One-month futures on the DM are traded at $0.624/DM. One-month US Treasury Bills yield 5.5%. One-month German government securities yield 7.5%. The spot $/DM exchange rate is $0.625/DM. a. Using the Put-Call-Forward Parity, determine the value of the put option with a strike price of $0.63 and one month maturity. b. How would you take advantage of arbitrage opportunities if you find that the actual price of the put is below the theoretical price determined using the Parity condition? SOLUTION: P = C - (F 0,T -X) / exp(r d T) C =.010 X =.63 F 0,T =.624 r d = 5.5% T = 1/12 P = ( ) / exp(.055* 1 / 12) P =
67 HEDGING 7. The treasurer of the XYZ company is expecting a dividend payment of DM 10,000,000 from a German subsidiary in two months. His/her expectations of the future DM spot rate are mixed: The DM could strengthen or stay flat over the next two months. The current exchange rate is $0.63/DM. The two-month futures rate is at $0.6279/DM. The two-month German interest rate is 7.5%. The two-month US T-Bill yields 5.5%. Puts on the DM with maturity of two months and strike price of $0.63 are traded on the CME at $0.0128/DM. Compare the following choices offered to the Treasurer: Sell a futures on the DM for delivery in two months for a total amount of DM 10 million. Buy 80 put options on the CME with expiration in two months and strike price equal to the current price. Set up a forward contract with the firm's bank XYZ. a. What is the respective cost of each strategy? b. Which strategy would best fit the treasurer's mixed forecast for the future spot rate of the DM? 12-67
68 SOLUTION: a. Strategy One: Sell futures contracts at the current price of In this case, the US firm is assured to get $ 6,279,000 (DM 10,000,000 * $.6279/DM). However, it has to deposit the margin requirements and risks having to make payments to maintain the maintenance margin, introducing cash-flow issues in the future. b. Strategy Two: Buy 80 put options on the DM at a strike price of 63. Total cost: 80 * 125,000 * $ = $128,000. The firm is assured to get at least $6,172,000 but it reserves itself the right to sell the DM on the spot market and not to exercise its options. Break-even rate is $.6428/DM. If the DM falls below that rate, the firm will be able to sell on the spot market and get more for its DM
69 8. Refer to the previous question. Suppose the DM actually rose in value to $0.67/DM when the dividend payment is made. a. Which of the three strategies enables the treasurer to take advantage of the rise in the DM against the dollar? b. What is the final gain (loss) incurred in each case? 12-69
70 SOLUTION: a. Strategy Three: Set up a forward contract with bank XYZ. No cash-flows are involved until maturity. However, the firm needs a credit line with its bank. The only strategy that allows for a potential future gain from a falling DM is the second strategy: b. If the DM rises to 67, the firm can forego its put option at 63 and actually sell its DM on the spot market. The firm loses the initial $128,000 spent on the put option. It gets $6,700,000 for its DM. Total cash proceeds from the dividend payment: $6,700, ,000 = $6,572,

113 17.7 Valuing Options 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

116 17.8 An Option Pricing Formula 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
117 Binomial Option Pricing Model Suppose a stock is worth $25 today and in one period will either be worth 15% more or 15% less. S 0 = $25 today and in one year S 1 is either $28.75 or $ The risk-free rate is 5%. What is the value of an at-the-money call option? S 0 S 1 $28.75 = $25 (1.15) $25 $21.25 = $25 (1.15)
118 Binomial Option Pricing Model 1. A call option on this stock with exercise price of $25 will have the following payoffs. 2. We can replicate the payoffs of the call option with a levered position in the stock. S 0 S 1 C 1 $28.75 $3.75 $25 $21.25 $
119 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. S 0 ( debt) = S 1 $28.75 $21.25 = portfolio $7.50 C 1 $3.75 $25 $21.25 $21.25 = $0 $
120 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: $25 $21.25 (1 + r f ) S 0 ( debt) = S 1 $28.75 $21.25 = portfolio $7.50 C 1 $3.75 $25 $21.25 $21.25 = $0 $
121 Binomial Option Pricing Model We can value the call option today as half of the value of the levered equity portfolio: C 0 = 1 2 $25 $21.25 (1 + ) r f S 0 ( debt) = S 1 $28.75 $21.25 = portfolio $7.50 C 1 $3.75 $25 $21.25 $21.25 = $0 $
122 Binomial Option Pricing Model If the interest rate is 5%, the call is worth: 1 $ C0 = $25 = = 2 (1.05) 2 ( $ ) $2. 38 C 0 S 0 ( debt ) = S 1 $28.75 $21.25 = portfolio $7.50 C 1 $3.75 $2.38 $25 $21.25 $21.25 = $0 $
123 Binomial Option Pricing Model The most important lesson (so far) from the binomial option pricing model is: the replicating portfolio intuition. Many derivative securities can be valued by valuing portfolios of primitive securities when those portfolios have the same payoffs as the derivative securities
124 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: Δ = Swing of call Swing of stock = $ $28.75 $21.25 = $3.75 $7.5 = 1 2 The delta of a put option is negative
125 Delta Determining the Amount of Borrowing: 1 $ C0 = $25 = $25 $20.24 = $2. 2 (1.05) 2 Value of a call = Stock price Delta Amount borrowed $2.38 = $25 ½ Amount borrowed Amount borrowed = $10.12 ( )
126 The Risk-Neutral Approach q S(U), V(U) S(0), V(0) 1- q S(D), V(D) We could value the option, V(0), as the value of the replicating portfolio. An equivalent method is risk-neutral valuation: V (0) = q V ( U ) + (1 q) V ( D) (1 + ) r f
127 The Risk-Neutral Approach q S(0), V(0) 1- q S(0) is the value of the underlying asset today. S(U), V(U) q is the risk-neutral probability of an up move. 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
128 The Risk-Neutral Approach S(0), V(0) q S(U), V(U) V (0) = q V ( U ) + (1 q) V ( D) (1 + ) r f 1- q S(D), V(D) The key to finding q is to note that it is already impounded into an observable security price: the value of S(0): S(0) = q S( U ) + (1 q) S( D) (1 + ) (1 + A minor bit of algebra yields: q = r f r f ) S(0) S( D) S( U ) S( D)
129 Example of Risk-Neutral Valuation Suppose a stock is worth $25 today and in one period will either be worth 15% more or 15% less. The risk-free rate is 5%. What is the value of an at-the-money call option? The binomial tree would look like this: $ = $25 (1.15) q $28.75,C(U) $25,C(0) $ = $25 (1.15) 1- q $21.25,C(D)
130 Example of Risk-Neutral Valuation The next step would be to compute the risk neutral probabilities q = (1 + r f ) S(0) S( D) S( U ) S( D) q = (1.05) $25 $21.25 $28.75 $21.25 = $5 $7.50 = 2 3 2/3 $28.75,C(U) $25,C(0) 1/3 $21.25,C(D)
131 Example of Risk-Neutral Valuation After that, find the value of the call in the up state and down state. C( U ) = $28.75 $25 2/3 $28.75, $3.75 $25,C(0) C( D) = max[$25 $28.75,0] 1/3 $21.25, $
132 Example of Risk-Neutral Valuation Finally, find the value of the call at time 0: C(0) = q C( U ) + (1 q) C( D) (1 + ) r f C(0) = 2 3 $ (1 3) $0 (1.05) $2.50 C( 0) = = (1.05) $2.38 2/3 $28.75,$3.75 $25,$2.38 $25,C(0) 1/3 $21.25, $
133 Risk-Neutral Valuation and the Replicating Portfolio This risk-neutral result is consistent with valuing the call using a replicating portfolio. C 2 3 $ (1 (1.05) 3) $0 $ = = = $ $ C0 = $25 = = 2 (1.05) 2 ( $ ) $
134 The Black-Scholes Model Where C 0 = S d N( d1) Ee rt N( 2) C 0 = the value of a European option at time t = 0 r = the risk-free interest rate. d d 1 2 = ln( S = d 1 σ / E) + ( r + σ T T σ 2 2 ) T N(d) = Probability that a standardized, normally distributed, random variable will be less than or equal to d. The Black-Scholes Model allows us to value options in the real world just as we have done in the 2-state world
135 The Black-Scholes Model Find the value of a six-month call option on Microsoft with an exercise price of $150. The current value of a share of Microsoft is $160. The interest rate available in the U.S. is r = 5%. The option maturity is 6 months (half of a year). The volatility of the underlying asset is 30% per annum. Before we start, note that the intrinsic value of the option is $10 our answer must be at least that amount
136 The Black-Scholes Model Let s try our hand at using the model. If you have a calculator handy, follow along. First calculate d 1 and d 2 2 ln( S / E) + ( r +.5σ ) T d1 = σ T ln(160 /150) + ( (0.30) d = ) = Then, d = d1 σ T = =
137 The Black-Scholes Model C d 1 = d 2 = = S d N( d1) Ee rt N( 2) N(d 1 ) = N( ) = N(d 2 ) = N( ) = C C 0 0 = = $ e $
138 17.9 Stocks and Bonds as Options Levered equity is a call option. The underlying asset comprises the assets of the firm. The strike price is the payoff of the bond. If at the maturity of their debt, the assets of the firm are greater in value than the debt, the shareholders have an in-the-money call. They will pay the bondholders and call in the assets of the firm. If at the maturity of the debt the shareholders have an out-of-the-money call, they will not pay the bondholders (i.e. the shareholders will declare bankruptcy) and let the call expire
139 Stocks and Bonds as Options Levered equity is a put option. The underlying asset comprises the assets of the firm. The strike price is the payoff of the bond. If at the maturity of their debt, the assets of the firm are less in value than the debt, shareholders have an in-the-money put. They will put the firm to the bondholders. If at the maturity of the debt the shareholders have an out-of-the-money put, they will not exercise the option (i.e. NOT declare bankruptcy) and let the put expire
140 Stocks and Bonds as Options It all comes down to put-call parity. c 0 = S 0 + p 0 E (1+ r) T Value of a call on the firm Value of a put on the firm Value of = the firm + Value of a risk-free bond Stockholder s position in terms of call options Stockholder s position in terms of put options
141 Mergers and Diversification Diversification is a frequently mentioned reason for mergers. Diversification reduces risk and, therefore, volatility. Decreasing volatility decreases the value of an option. Assume diversification is the only benefit to a merger: Since equity can be viewed as a call option, should the merger increase or decrease the value of the equity? Since risky debt can be viewed as risk-free debt minus a put option, what happens to the value of the risky debt? Overall, what has happened with the merger and is it a good decision in view of the goal of stockholder wealth maximization?
142 Example Consider the following two merger candidates. The merger is for diversification purposes only with no synergies involved. Risk-free rate is 4%. Market value of assets Face value of zero coupon debt Debt maturity Asset return standard deviation Company A $40 million $18 million 4 years 40% Company B $15 million $7 million 4 years 50%
143 Example Use the Black and Scholes OPM (or an options calculator) to compute the value of the equity. Value of the debt = value of assets value of equity Market Value of Equity Market Value of Debt Company A Company B
144 Example The asset return standard deviation for the combined firm is 30% Market value assets (combined) = = 55 Face value debt (combined) = = 25 Market value of equity Market value of debt Combined Firm Total MV of equity of separate firms = = Wealth transfer from stockholders to bondholders = = 1.42 (exact increase in MV of debt)
145 M&A Conclusions Mergers for diversification only transfer wealth from the stockholders to the bondholders. The standard deviation of returns on the assets is reduced, thereby reducing the option value of the equity. If management s goal is to maximize stockholder wealth, then mergers for reasons of diversification should not occur
146 Options and Capital Budgeting Stockholders may prefer low NPV projects to high NPV projects if the firm is highly leveraged and the low NPV project increases volatility. Consider a company with the following characteristics: MV assets = 40 million Face Value debt = 25 million Debt maturity = 5 years Asset return standard deviation = 40% Risk-free rate = 4%
147 Example: Low NPV Current market value of equity = $ million Current market value of debt = $ million NPV MV of assets Asset return standard deviation MV of equity MV of debt Project I $3 $43 30% $ $ Project II $1 $41 50% $ $
148 Example: Low NPV Which project should management take? Even though project B has a lower NPV, it is better for stockholders. The firm has a relatively high amount of leverage: With project A, the bondholders share in the NPV because it reduces the risk of bankruptcy. With project B, the stockholders actually appropriate additional wealth from the bondholders for a larger gain in value
149 Example: Negative NPV We ve seen that stockholders might prefer a low NPV to a high one, but would they ever prefer a negative NPV? Under certain circumstances, they might. If the firm is highly leveraged, stockholders have nothing to lose if a project fails, and everything to gain if it succeeds. Consequently, they may prefer a very risky project with a negative NPV but high potential rewards
150 Example: Negative NPV Consider the previous firm. They have one additional project they are considering with the following characteristics Project NPV = -$2 million MV of assets = $38 million Asset return standard deviation = 65% Estimate the value of the debt and equity MV equity = $ million MV debt = $ million
151 Example: Negative NPV In this case, stockholders would actually prefer the negative NPV project to either of the positive NPV projects. The stockholders benefit from the increased volatility associated with the project even if the expected NPV is negative. This happens because of the large levels of leverage
152 Options and Capital Budgeting As a general rule, managers should not accept low or negative NPV projects and pass up high NPV projects. Under certain circumstances, however, this may benefit stockholders: The firm is highly leveraged The low or negative NPV project causes a substantial increase in the standard deviation of asset returns
153 17.12 Investment in Real Projects and Options Classic NPV calculations generally ignore the flexibility that real-world firms typically have. Quick Quiz for Chapter 17 of Ross Corporate Finance What is the difference between call and put options? What are the major determinants of option prices? What is put-call parity? What would happen if it doesn t hold? What is the Black-Scholes option pricing model? How can equity be viewed as a call option? Should a firm do a merger for diversification purposes only? Why or why not? Should management ever accept a negative NPV project? If yes, under what circumstances?
