Why Do Yield and Cost of Funds Matter in Time Value of Bond Options? Buy a Call Long Position Repo Out a Bond Do not Earn Carry + Earn Yield - Pay Repo = Earn Carry Carry Up Carry Down Call worth relatively LESS Call worth relatively MORE Buy a Put Short Position Reverse Repo a Bond Do not Pay Carry + Earn Repo - Give Up Yield = Pay Carry Carry Up Carry Down Put worth relatively MORE Put worth relatively LESS Black-Scholes-Merton Model, Page 22
