1 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-1 Chapter 21: Option Valuation I. The Binomial Option Pricing Moel Intro: 1. Goal: to be able to value options 2. Basic approach: 3. Law of One Price: 4. How it will help: Note: Analysis is for an option on one share of stock. if want to value an option on X shares, multiply results by X. A. Two-State Single-Perio Moel Note: will start with very simple case of only one perio an only two possible stock prices a year from toay 1. Reasons for starting with such unrealistic assumptions: 1) easier placer to start than Black-Scholes Option Pricing Moel (BSOPM) able to buil some intuition about what etermines option values possible to see how moel is erive without an unerstaning of stochastic calculus (neee for BSOPM) 2) moel works pretty well for very short time horizons 2. Definitions S = current stock price S u = up stock price next perio S = own stock price next perio r f = risk-free interest rate C u = value of option if stock goes up C = value of option if stock goes own K = strike price of option = number of shares purchase to create replicating portfolio B = investment in risk-free bons to create replicating portfolio

2 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-2 3. Creating a replicating portfolio Key want payoff on replicating portfolio at t = 1 to equal payoff on call at t = 1 if the stock price rises or if it falls S u + (1+r f )B = C u S + (1+r f )B = C (21.4a) (21.4b) assume know everything except an B two equations an two unknowns ( an B) Cu C (21.5a) S S u C S B 1 r f (21.5b) replicating portfolio: buy shares an invest B in risk-free bons Note: see Chapter 21 Supplement for steps Q: What is value of call? same as replicating portfolio C = S + B (21.6) Ex. Assume a stock currently worth $19 will be worth either $26 or $16 next perio. What is the value of a call with a $15 strike price if the risk free rate is 5%? Key create binomial tree with possible payoffs for call an stock

3 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-3 Using 21.5a: C S u u C S Using 21.5b: C S B 1 r f Check of payoff on portfolio at t = 1: If S = 26: If S = 16: Value of call toay using equation 21.6: C = S + B = Note: Value if expires now (or if exercise) = max(19-15,0) = 4 4. An Alternative Approach to the Binomial Moel Keys: 1) stock has a variable payoff use stock to uplicate the ifference between the high an low call payoffs 2) bons have a fixe payoff use bons to ajust of the total payoff higher or lower (to correct level) Note: Use same example: Assume a stock currently worth $19 will be worth either $26 or $16 next perio. What is the value of a call with a $15 strike price if the risk free rate is 5%? 1) Creating ifferences in portfolio payoffs when stock is high rather than low a) ifference between high an low payoff on stock = b) ifference between payoff on call when stock is high rather than low = nee an entire share of stock to uplicate the ifference in payoffs on the call =

4 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-4 2) Matching level of payoffs Key: At t = 1, nee $11 if S = $26 an $1 if S = $16 replicating portfolio (which has one share) pays $26 or $16 3) Summary: a) Replicating portfolio: short-sell Treasuries worth (borrow) $ an buy 1 share b) Payoff on replicating portfolio at t = 1: If S = $26: 11 = = what left from stock after buy an return borrowe Treasuries If S = $16: 1 = = what left from stock after buy an return borrowe Treasuries c) Cost of portfolio = = 4.71 ) Same results as when plugge numbers into the equations Ex. Assume a stock currently worth $19 will be worth either $26 or $16 next perio. What is the value of a call with a $20 strike price if the risk free rate is 5%?

5 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-5 1. Using the Equations Using 21.5a: C S u u C S Using 21.5b: C S B 1 r f Check of payoff on portfolio at t = 1: If S = 26: If S = 16: Value of put toay using 21.6: C = S + B = Notes: 1) Value if expires toay = max (19-20,0) = 0 2) Value of call if K = 20 ($2.26) is less than if K = 15 ($4.71) 2. Alternative Approach stock will be worth $16 or $26 1) Creating ifferences in the portfolio payoffs when stock is high rather than low a) ifference between high an low payoff on stock = $10 = b) ifference between payoff on call when stock is high rather than low = portfolio nee only 10 6 of variation in payoff of stock =

6 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-6 Check of ifference in payoffs on portfolio at t=1 if =.6: If S = $26: If S = $16: Difference = 2) Matching the level of portfolio payoffs Key: At t = 1, nee $6 (if stock = $26) or $0 (if stock = $16) replicating portfolio (if only inclue the.6 shares) pays $15.6 or $9.6 3) Summary: a) Replicating portfolio: short-sell Treasuries worth (borrow) $ an buy 0.6 shares b) Payoff on portfolio at t = 1: If S = $26: 6 =.6(26) 9.6 = what left from stock after buy an return borrowe Treasuries If S = $16: 0 =.6(16) 9.6 = what left from stock after buy an return borrowe Treasuries c) Cost of portfolio =.6(19) = = 2.26 price of call must also be $2.26 ) Same results as when plugge numbers into the equations

7 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-7 Ex. Assume a stock currently worth $19 will be worth either $26 or $16 next perio. What is the value of a put with a $20 strike price if the risk free rate is 5%? Key: let C u an C be payoff on put when stock price is up an own (respectively). if you prefer to write them as P u an P feel free to o so. 1. Using the Equations Using 21.5a: C S u u C S Using 21.5b: C S B 1 r f Check of payoff on portfolio at t = 1: If S = $26: If S = $16: Using 21.6: C P S Note: value if the put expires now = max(20-19,0) = 1 2. Alternative Approach Note: Stock can en up at $16 or $26

8 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-8 1) Creating ifferences payoffs when stock is high rather than low a) ifference between high an low payoff on stock = b) ifference between payoff on put when stock is high rather than low = when stock is $10 higher, portfolio payoff nees to be $4 lower Q: What kin of transaction toay will lea to a $4 smaller payoff next perio if the stock is $10 higher? Check of ifference in payoff on portfolio at t = 1: If S = $26: If S = $16: ifference in payoff = 2) Matching level of payoffs Key: At t = 1, nee $0 (if stock = $26) or $4 (if stock = $16) replicating portfolio pays $10.4 or $6.4 3) Summary: a) Replicating portfolio: short-sell 0.4 shares an invest $ in Treasuries b) Payoff on portfolio at t = 1: If S = $26: 0 = -.4(26) = what is left from payoff on Treasuries after repurchase stock If S = $16: 4 = -.4(16) = what left from payoff on Treasuries after repurchase stock c) Cost of portfolio = (19) = = value of put must also be ) Same results as when plugge numbers into the equations

9 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-9 Q: What is the value of the put if K = 15? C. A Multiperio Moel 1. Valuing options beginning perio, two possible states next perio, two possible states from each of these states etc. Key to solving: Ex. Assume that a stock with a current price of $98 will either increase by 10% or ecrease by 5% for each of the next 2 years. If the risk-free rate is 6%, what is the value of a call with a $100 strike price? possible stock prices at t=1: = 98(1.1) = 98(.95) possible stock prices at t=2: = 98(1.1) = 98(1.1) (.95) =98(.95) (1.1) = 98(.95) 2 possible call values at at t=2: S = : = max( ,0) S = : 2.41 = max( ,0) S = : 0 = max( ,0)

10 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-10 Cu C (21.5a) S S u C S B 1 r f (21.5b) C = S + B (21.6) 1) t = 1 If S = : u B u C u = If S = 93.10: B C =

11 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-11 2) t = 0 (toay): B C = Note: To get my numbers, on t roun anything until the final answer. 2. Rebalancing Key must rebalance portfolio at t = 1 t = 0: S = 98, = , B = , C = Cost of replicating portfolio = 98(.80225) = t = 1: If S = $107.80: value of replicating portfolio = nee = change in = number of shares nee to buy/sell: CF = B: If S = $93.10: value of replicating portfolio = nee = change in = number of shares nee to buy/sell:

12 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-12 CF = B: 3. Payoffs on Replicating Portfolio at t = 2 1) If S = $ Payoff on portfolio = 2) If S = $ a) If S was $ at t = 1: Payoff on portfolio = b) if S was $93.10 at t = 1: Payoff on portfolio = 3) If S = Payoff on portfolio = II. The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Moel A. European Calls on Non-ivien Paying Stock PV K N C S N (21.7) where: S ln PV K T (21.8a) T T (21.8b) N() = cumulative normal istribution of probability that normally istribute variable is less than Excel function normsist()

13 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-13 C = value of call S = current stock price T = years until option expires K = exercise price = annual volatility (stanar eviation) of the stock s return over the life of the option Note: is the only variable that must forecast PV(K) = present value (price) of a risk-free zero-coupon bon that pays K at the expiration of the option Note: use risk-free interest rate with maturity closest to expiration of option. Ex. You are consiering purchasing a call that has a strike price of $37.50 an which expires 74 ays from toay. The current stock price is $40.75 but is expecte to rise to $42 by the time the option expires. The volatility of returns on the firm s stock over the past year has been 25% but is expecte to be 21% over the next 74 ays an 19% over the next year. The returns on T-bills vary by maturity as follows: 3 ays = 3.5%, 67 ays = 4.8%; 73 ays = 5.0%, 80 ays = 5.1%. What is the Black-Scholes price for this call? T = PV(K) = (21.8a) 1 S ln PV K T T 2 = (21.8b) 2 1 T = Using Excel: N( 1 ) = , N( 2 ) =.82545

14 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-14 Notes: 1) calculate N() with Excel function normsist() 2) feel free to use copy of Excel table to approximate normsist() Using tables, roun 1 an 2 to two ecimals N( 1 ) = N(1.03) = N( 2 ) = N(0.94) = close but not exactly the same (21.7) C S N PV K N = 1 2 B. European Puts on Non-Divien-Paying Stock K 1 N S N P PV (21.9) Ex. You are consiering purchasing a put that has a strike price of $37.50 an which expires 74 ays from toay. The current stock price is $40.75 but is expecte to rise to $42 by the time the option expires. The volatility of returns on the firm s stock over the past year has been 25% but is expecte to be 21% over the next 74 ays an 19% over the next year. The returns on T-bills vary by maturity as follows: 3 ays = 3.5%, 67 ays = 4.8%; 73 ays = 5.0%, 80 ays = 5.1%. What is the Black-Scholes price for this put? S = 40.75, K = 37.50, PV(K) = , T = 74/365, =.21, r f =.05, N( 1 ) = , N( 2 ) = P = Note: Value of a European put can be below its value if exercise if eep in the money can t be true for American puts C. Divien Paying Stocks Basic iea: subtract from the stock price the present value of iviens between now an expiration of option S x = S PV(Div) (21.10) where: S = current stock price PV(Div) = present value of iviens expecte prior to expiration of option iscounte at the require return on the stock plug S x, into BSOPM

15 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-15 Ex. You are consiering purchasing a call that has a strike price of $37.50 an which expires 74 ays from toay. The current stock price is $40.75 but is expecte to rise to $42 by the time the option expires. The volatility of returns on the firm s stock over the past year has been 25% but is expecte to be 21% over the next 74 ays an 19% over the next year. The returns on T-bills vary by maturity as follows: 3 ays = 3.5%, 67 ays = 4.8%; 73 ays = 5.0%, 80 ays = 5.1%. What is the Black-Scholes price for this call if the stock will pay a ivien of $0.25 per share 30 ays from toay an the require return on the stock is 11% per year? S = 40.75, K = 37.50, PV(K) = , T = 74/365, =.21, r f =.05 x S Option values ln ; N( 1 ) = ; ( on Table).87181; N( 2 ) = ; ( on Table) C = ( ) ( ) = 3.73 < 3.94 (value if no ivien pai) P = ( ) ( ) = 0.36 > 0.32 (value if no ivien pai) Note: iviens reuce the value of calls but increase the value of puts D. Implie Volatility Basic iea: use goal seek in Excel, a TI-83, or trial an error

16 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-16 Ex. What is the implie volatility on a stock given the following information? The price of the call is $5.75 an the price of the stock on which the call is written is $45. The call expires 50 ays from toay an has a strike price of $40. The return on a 49-ay T-bill (the closest maturity to the call) is 4% per year. Black-Scholes equations: PV K N C S N (21.7) S ln PV K T (21.8a) T T (21.8b) PV ( K) N N ln impossible to solve mathematically using goal seek, = E. Stanar Form of Black-Scholes Notes: 1) as far as I know, the following version of BSOPM shows up everywhere except this book 2) source: 3) to be consistent with book s symbols, using N( 1 ) rather than ( 1 ). 4) you are not require to know this version of the moel for this class

17 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-17 C S N 1 2 ln rt K e N S K 1 r 2 T T T P K e rt 1 N S N Notes: 1) r f = risk-free rate expresse as effective rate 2) r = risk-free rate expresse as an APR with continuous compouning 3) use the following to convert between APRs an effective rates with continuous compouning: r r f e 1 r = ln(1 + r f ) Ex. You are consiering purchasing a call that has a strike price of $37.50 an which expires 74 ays from toay. The return on a 73-ay T-bill (the closest maturity to the call) is 5% per year. The current stock price is $40.75 per share an the stock s volatility is 21%. What is the Black-Scholes price for this call? Note: same as first Black-Scholes example. Call worth $3.94 an put worth $0.32. r = ln(1.05) = ln ; N( 1 ) = ; N( 2 ) = C e P e same results as with form of moel in the book

18 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-18 F. The Replicating Portfolio 1. Calls comparing (21.6) an (21.7), then (21.12) must hol C = S + B (21.6) C S N PV K N (21.7) 1 2 = N( 1 ) B = -PV(K)N( 2 ) (21.12a) (21.12b) Ex. What is the replicating portfolio for a call given the following information? The call expires 155 ays from toay with a strike price of $25. The return on a 154- ay T-bill (closest to the expiration of the option) is 2.2%. The stock s current price is $24 an the volatility of the stock over the next 155 ays is estimate to be 33%. ; N( 1 ) =.4843 ; N( 2 ) =.3996 can replicate call on one share of stock by: Cost of replicating portfolio = cost of option = C = 24(.4843) 9.90 = 24(.4843) 24.77(.3996) = $1.73

19 Chapter 21: Option Valuation Puts Note: Replicating portfolio for call will have a long position in the stock an a short position in the bon (borrowing) from Chapter 11 we know that leverage increases risk comparing (21.6) an (21.9) C = S + B (21.6) P PV K 1 N S N (21.9) = [1 N( 1 )] B = PV(K)[1 N( 2 )] (21.13a) (21.13b) Ex. What is the replicating portfolio for the put in the previous example? S = 24, K = 25, T = 155/365, =.33, r f =.022, PV(K) = 24.77, N( 1 ) =.4843, N( 2 ) =.3996, C = 1.73, P = 2.50 = B = can replicate put on one share by: cost of replicating portfolio = Note: the replicating portfolio for a put will have a short position in the stock an a long position in the bon (lening) III. Risk an Return of an Option Basic iea: beta of an option equals the beta of its replicating portfolio

20 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-20 Let: S = $ investe in stock to create an options replicating portfolio buy shares at $S per share S = beta of stock B = $ investe in risk-free bons to create an option s replicating portfolio B = beta of risk-free bons option S S S B B B S B option S S since B =0 (21.17) S B Ex. Assume a call that expires 60 ays from toay has a strike price equal to the stock s current price of $15. Assume also that the stanar eviation of returns on the stock over the next 60 ays is expecte to be 30%, an that the risk-free rate over the next 59 ays is 4% per year. What is the option s beta if the stock s beta is 1.1? How oes the beta change if the stock price rises to $20 or falls to $10? Key: calculate beta of equivalent portfolio of shares of stock an Treasuries equivalent portfolio: buy shares an invest B in bons 21.12a: = N( 1 ) 21.12b: B = PV(K)N( 2 ) S ln PV K T 21.8a : 1 T b : T PV(K) =

21 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-21 N( 1 ) =.54531; N( 2 ) = Beta of replicating portfolio: Investment in Stock = S = Investment in Treasuries = B = Total investment = Use equation 21.17: S Call S S B if stock price = $20, the call s = = (1.1) S Note: call is in the money; = ; B = ; S B if stock price = $10, the call s = = (1.1) S Note: call is out of the money; = ; B = ; S B Note: as an option goes further out of the money, the magnitue (#) of S S B rises Ex. Assume a put has a strike price equal to the stock s current price of $15. Assume also that stanar eviation of returns on the stock over the life of the option is expecte to be 30%, that the option expires in 60 ays, an that the risk-free rate is 4% per year. What is the option s beta if the stock s beta is 1.1? Note: Same information as on the call example. N( 1 ) =.54531, N( 2 ) = , PV(K) =

22 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-22 option S S S B Using equations 21.13a an 21.13b for the an B for a put: 21.13a (p. 18): = [1 N( 1 )] = 21.13b (p. 18): B = PV(K)[1 N( 2 )] = S (p. 20): Put S S B Beta of replicating portfolio: Investment in Stock = S = Investment in Treasuries = B = Total investment =

23 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-23 Note: if stock price is: S $20 (out of money): = , B = , , = S B S $10 (in the money): = , B = , , = S B IV. Beta of a Firm s Assets an Risky Debt Basic iea: Can combine: 1) equation (Beta of an option) 2) the iea that an option is equivalent to a portfolio of stocks an risk-free bons an 3) the iea that stock is a essentially a call on the firm s assets Let: D = beta of firm s risky ebt beta of firm's unlevere equity beta of firm's assets U E = beta of firm s levere equity = N( 1 ) when calculate the value of the firm s stock as a call on the firm s assets A = market value of the firm s assets D = market value of the firm s ebt E = market value of the firm s equity D A E 1 U 1 1 U (21.20) D D where: E U (21.21) D 1 E Note: erivations of an in supplement on web

24 Chapter 21: Option Valuation-24 Ex. Assume that the market value of firm s stock is $100 million an that the beta of the firm s stock is 1.3. Assume also that the firm has issue zero-coupon ebt that matures 5 years from toay for $90 million an that the market value of this ebt is $60 million. Assume also that the risk-free rate is 5%. What is the beta of the firm s assets an of the firm s ebt? Notes: 1) Viewing equity as a call on the firm s assets with a strike price of $90 million (the amount owe the bonholers at maturity in 5 years). 2) When using the Black-Scholes moel, we iscount the strike price (K) at the risk-free rate 3) To solve for, must: a) fin that causes BSOPM value of stock to equal current market value b) etermine using this A = PV(K) = ln E = 100 = 160 x N( 1 ) x N( 2 ) solve for that solves for E = 100 Using solver in Excel: is.4313, 1 = , N( 1 ) = , 2 = , N( 2 ) = E A U ; D 1 U D D 1 E U D Note: A U
