What is an Option?

1. An option is a contract which gives its holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or sell) an asset at some predetermined price within a specified period of time.

2. An option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a given quantity of an asset on (or perhaps before) a given date, at prices agreed upon today.

So options allows an investor to “lock in” the followings:

1. a specified number of Shares

2. at a fixed price per share, called strike or exercise price

3. for a limited length of time

1. Call option: Call options gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a given quantity of some asset at some time in the future, at prices agreed upon today. When exercising a call option, you “call in” the asset.

2. Put option: Put options gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a given quantity of an asset at some time in the future, at prices agreed upon today. When exercising a put, you “put” the asset to someone.

3. Exercising the Option: The act of buying or selling the underlying asset through the option contract.

4. Exercise (or strike) price: The price stated in the option contract at which the security can be bought or sold.

5. Option price: The market price of the option contract.

Option Terminology6. Expiration date: The date the option matures.7. Exercise value: The value of a call option if it were exercised

today = Current stock price - Strike price. Note: The exercise value is zero if the stock price is less than the strike price.

8. In-the-money call: A call whose exercise price is less than the current price of the underlying stock.

9. At-the-Money: The exercise price is equal to the spot price of the underlying asset.

10. Out-of-the-money call: A call option whose exercise price exceeds the current stock price.

Strike/Exercise Price (Call) Current Price Condition

$50> $50 In-the-Money

= $50 At-the-Money

< $50 Out-of-the Money

11. Covered option: A call option written against stock held in an investor’s portfolio.

12. Naked (uncovered) option: An option sold without the stock to back it up.

13. LEAPS: Long-term Equity Anticipation Securities that are similar to conventional options except that they are long-term options with maturities of up to 2 1/2 years.

14. European option: An option that can only be exercised at expiration.

15. American option: An option that can be exercised at any time before and including at expiration.

Intrinsic value

Intrinsic value is the difference between the exercise price of the option and the spot price of the underlying asset. Intrinsic value can be defined as the amount by which the strike price of an option is in-the-money. It is actually the portion of an option's price that is not lost due to the passage of time. The following equations will allow you to calculate the intrinsic value of call and put options:

Call Options:Intrinsic value = Stock's Current Price - Call Strike Price Time Value = Call Premium - Intrinsic ValuePut Options:Intrinsic value = Put Strike Price - Stock's Current Price Time Value = Put Premium - Intrinsic Value

Example 01: Call Option Intrinsic Value Explanation

If a call Option for 100 shares has a strike price of $35 and the stock is trading at $50 a share, what will be the intrinsic value of the call?

Intrinsic value (IV) = Stock's Current Price - Call Strike PriceIntrinsic value = $50 - $35So, Intrinsic value = $15 per shareTotal Intrinsic Value = IV x Number of Share

If the stock price is less than the strike price the call option has no intrinsic value

Zulfiqar Hasan 9

Example 02: Put Option Intrinsic Value Explanation

If a put option for 100 shares has a strike price of $35 and the stock is trading at $20 a share. What will be the intrinsic value of the Put?

Intrinsic value = Put Strike Price - Stock's Current PriceIntrinsic value = $35 - $20So, Intrinsic value = $15 per share

If the stock price is greater than the strike price the put option has no intrinsic value.

Use the option quote information shown here to answer the questions that follow.

a. Are the call options in the money? What is the intrinsic value of an RWJ Corp. call option?

b. Are the put options in the money? What is the intrinsic value of an RWJ Corp. put option?

90909090

94949494

Answer: a. The calls are in the money. The intrinsic value of

the calls is $4.b. The puts are out of the money. The intrinsic

value of the puts is $0.

Fundamentals of Option Valuation

C1 = 0 if S1 ≤ EOr C1 = 0 if S1 - E ≤0C1 = S1 - E if S1 >EOr EquivalentlyC1 = S1 -E, if S1 - E>0

The following notation will be useful:S1 = Stock price at expiration (in one period)

S0 = Stock price todayC1 =Value of the call option on the expiration date (in one period)C0 = Value of the call option todayE = Exercise price on the option

For example, suppose we have a call option with an exercise price of $10. The option is about to expire. If the stock is selling for $8, then we have the right to pay $10 for something worth only $8. Our option is thus worth exactly zero because the stock price is less than the exercise price on the option (S1 ≤ E). If the stock is selling for $12, then the option has value. Because we can buy the stock for $10, the option is worth S1- E= $12 – 10= $2.

T-bills currently yield 6.2 percent. Stock in Christina Manufacturing is currently selling for $55 per share. There is no possibility that the stock will be worth less than $50 per share in one year.

a. What is the value of a call option with a $45 exercise price? What is the intrinsic value?

b. What is the value of a call option with a $35 exercise price? What is the intrinsic value?

c. What is the value of a put option with a $45 exercise price? What is the intrinsic value?

S0 = Stock price todayC0 = Value of the call option today

Page 13: Zulfiqar Hasan 1. 2 Lecture Contents Options; Call Options; Put Options; Selling Options; Combinations of Options; Valuing Options; An Option ‑ Pricing

Zulfiqar Hasan 13

Solution: Example 04

a.The value of the call is the stock price minus the present value of the exercise price, so:

C0 = S0 - E/(1 + Rf)

C0 = $55 – [$45/1.062] = $12.63Intrinsic value = $55 - $45 = $10b.The value of the call is the stock price minus the present value of the exercise price, so:

C0 = $55 – [$35/1.062] = $22.04The intrinsic value is the amount by which the stock price exceeds the exercise price of the call, so the intrinsic value is $20.

c.The value of the put option is $0 since there is no possibility that the put will finish in the money. The intrinsic value is also $0.

Zulfiqar Hasan 14

Example 05: Valuing a Call Option

The market price per share is $45, with a strike price of $40. The call consists of 100 shares. Determine the value of the call.

Value of call = (Market Price of Stock - Exercise price of Call) x Number of Shares in callSo, Value of call = ($45 - $40) x 100 = $ 500

Example 06: Valuing a Call OptionA 2-month call option allows to buy 500 shares of ABC Company at $20 per share. What is the value of that option, if you exercise the option when the market price is $38 within that time period? What will happen if the market price decline from $20?

Value = $9000, Should not have exercised below $20 market price.

Put-Call Parity (PCP)

The relationship between the prices of the underlying stock, a call option, a put option, and a risk less asset is called Put-Call parity condition.

Practice at Home : Put-Call Parity

1. A stock is currently selling for $54 per share. A call option with an exercise price of $55 sells for $3.10 and expires in three months. If the risk-free rate of interest is 2.6 percent per year, compounded continuously, what is the price of a put option with the same exercise price?

2. A put option that expires in six months with an exercise price of $65 sells for $2.05. The stock is currently priced at $67, and the risk-free rate is 3.6 percent per year, compounded continuously. What is the price of a call option with the same exercise price?

3. A put option and a call option with an exercise price of $80 and five months to expiration sell for $2.05 and $4.80, respectively. If the riskfree rate is 4.8 percent per year, compounded continuously, what is the current stock price?

Example 01: The Black-Scholes Model

S = $100; E =$90; Rf =4% per year, continuously compoundedd1 = .60; d2 = .30; t = 9 monthsBased on this information, what is the value of the call option, C?

As d1 = .60, So, N(d1). =0.7258, For d2, N(d2)= 0.6179. Using the Black-Scholes OPM,We calculate that the value of the call option is:

= $100 x .7258 - $90 x e.04(3/4) x .6179= $18.61

Notice that t, the time to expiration, is 9 months, which is 9/12 3/4 of one year.

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.

Summary and Conclusions

• The most familiar options are puts and calls.– Put options give the holder the right to sell stock

at a set price for a given amount of time.– Call options give the holder the right to buy stock

at a set price for a given amount of time.

• Put-Call parity

Zulfiqar Hasan 33

Summary and Conclusions

• The value of a stock option depends on six factors:1. Current price of underlying stock.2. Dividend yield of the underlying stock.3. Strike price specified in the option contract.4. Risk-free interest rate over the life of the contract.5. Time remaining until the option contract expires.6. Price volatility of the underlying stock.

• Much of corporate financial theory can be presented in terms of options.1. Common stock in a levered firm can be viewed as a call option on the

assets of the firm.2. Real projects often have hidden option that enhance value.

Binomial Option Pricing Model

Many derivative securities can be valued by valuing portfolios of primitive securities when those portfolios have the same payoffs as the derivative securities.

The most important lesson (so far) from the binomial option pricing model is:

Delta and the Hedge Ratio

• 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:

The Risk-Neutral Approach to Valuation

S(0) is the value of the underlying asset today.

S(0), V(0)

S(U), V(U)

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.

q

1- q

V(U) and V(D) are the values of the asset in the next period following an up move and a down move, respectively.

q is the risk-neutral probability of an “up” move.

The Risk-Neutral Approach to Valuation

• 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), V(0)

S(U), V(U)

S(D), V(D)

Example of the Risk-Neutral Valuation of a Call:

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:

$21.25,C(D)
