2 A purchased call n the money f the current spot prce s greater than the strke prce: S t > K The long call s out of the money f S t < K A purchased put n the money f the current spot prce s less than the strke prce: S t < K The long put s out of the money s S t > K 188) An asset prce contngency s the condton for the underlyng asset to be bought or sold The asset s exercsed f t s bought or sold for an opton The asset s always bought or sold for a forward 189) The followng table gves the maxmum loss (negatve proft) and maxmum gan for some dervatves The entres that are not unlmted occur f S T = 0 or f the payoff = 0 dervatve maxmum loss maxmum gan long forward F 0,T unlmted short forward unlmted F 0,T long call F V (C) unlmted short call unlmted F V (C) long put FV (P) K FV (P) short put FV (P) K FV (P) 190) A futures contract s smlar to a forward but has several dfferences Futures are wdely bought and sold daly n markets durng the lfe [0, T] of the contract Forwards are typcally sold by brokers The amount needed to open a futures account s called an ntal margn To mantan order n futures markets, there are daly lmts on the movement of future prces At the end of each tradng day, a futures account s markedto-market whch means that any proft or loss resultng from a change n the future s prce from the prevous tradng day s close s added or deducted from the account balance The holder of the long futures contract s oblgated to buy and the holder of the short futures contract s oblgated to sell the asset at expry tme T day futures prce prce change credt or debt margn account balance S t = S t 1 + C t C t = S t S t 1 JC t B t = B t 1 e r/365 + JC t 0 S 0 B 0 1 S 1 C 1 JC 1 B 1 2 S 2 C 2 JC 2 B 2 T 1 S T 1 C T 1 JC T 1 B T 1 T S T C T JC T B T 191) The above table s used to compute the balance B t = B t 1 e r/365 + JC t n the margn account where 1 day = (1/365)th of a year Replace 365 by 52 f weeks are used and by 12 f months are used Let S t be the prce of 1 unt of the future on day t (at the close of the market) Let C t = S t S t 1 be the prce change of 1 unt of the future Let J be the multpler = number of untn the future contract so the sze of the contract s JS 0 Then B 0 = D% (sze) = D%JS 0, eg D% = 10% Note that S T = S 0 +C 1 +C 2 + +C T Then long future proft = B T B 0 e rt/365 = B T AV (B 0 ) 192) If a long forward has F 0,T = S 0, then the proft on the long forward s J(S T S 0 ) whch s the proft of the long future when there s no nterest: δ = 0 (Wth nterest, F 0,T = S 0 e rt, assumng no ncome, such as dvdends, from the asset durng [0, T]) 2

4 arses snce the PV of the cash outflows to buy an asset should be the same, regardless of the method A long forward wth cash outflow of F 0,T at tme T has a PV of PV (F 0,T ) = F 0,T (1 + ) T = F 0,T v T A long synthetc forward has a cash outflow of C P at tme 0 and a cash outflow of K at tme T The PV of these outflows C P + PV (K) Usng S 0 = C P +PV (K) = PV (F 0,T ) can gve several relatonshps, ncludng the put call party and C P = S 0 PV (K), S 0 = PV (F 0,T ), and F 0,T = FV (S 0 ) = S 0 e rt = S 0 (1 + ) T 202) The put call party: C P = PV (F 0,T K) holds wth ) F 0,T = S 0 e rt = S 0 (1 + ) T for nondvdend payng stock, ) F 0,T = S 0 e rt FV(dvdends) = S 0 (1 + ) T FV(dvdends) for stock whch pays dscrete dvdends (eg quarterly), ) F 0,T = S 0 e (r δ)t when stock has dvdend yeld δ 203) The opportunty to make a sure proft wth no rsk s called arbtrage Such opportuntes can t survve long n the marketplace A fundamental assumpton made n prcng dervatves that arbtrage s not possble Hence ths prcng s called no-arbtrage prcng Ths prcng s used to derve the put call party 204) An off-market (long) forward has a premum C P and forward prce (for the asset) of F 0,T = K, the same cash flows as a synthetc long forward 205) Let L = long (purchased) and S = short (wrtten) so LCall(K) s a long Call wth stke prce K and and SPut(K) s a short put wth strke prce K Memorze the payoff graphs for the LCall, SCall, LPut and SPut For combnatons of optons, ) want to know the strategy, ) know the shape of the proft graph, and ) know the combnaton of optons that make up the dervatve The (short) wrtten proft graph wll be the mrror mage (about the x-axs) of the (long) purchased proft graph, and the proft s the combnaton of profts that make up the dervatve Wrtten dervatve proft = purchased dervatve proft 206) A (long) straddle ) bets prce wll ether go up or down from K, ) s V shaped, ) = LPut(K) + LCall(K) So straddle proft = max(0, K S T ) FV (P) + max(0, S T K) FV (C) A wrtten straddle ) bets prce wll be near K, ) shape s an upsde down V, ) = SPut(K) + SCall(K) 207) A strangle ) bets prce wll ether go up or down from K, ) decreases lnearly, then flat from K D to K+D, then ncreases lnearly, ) = LPut(K D) + LCall(K+D) So strangle proft = max(0, K D S T ) FV (P(K D)) + max(0, S T K D) FV (C(K + D)) where P(K D) s the premum of a put wth strke prce K D and C(K + D) s the premum of a call wth strke prce K + D 208) Bull spread = LCall(K 1 )+ SCall(K 2 ), K 2 > K 1 Bear spread = SCall(K 1 )+ LCall(K 2 ), K 2 > K 1 Collar = LPut(K 1 )+ SCall(K 2 ), K 2 > K 1 4
