Derive carefully the put-call parity formula using the law of one price.
In the put-call parity equation, S0 is the current price of the underlying asset, P0 is the price of the put on the asset, C0 is the price of the call on the asset and Ke^(-r x T) is the present value of the options' strike price (K). Both options have the same underlying asset, maturity and strike price.
Consider two portfolios, one with only the stock (under consideration) in it and a second one which is composed of a long call option, short put option and a zero coupon bond with a face value equal to the option's strike price.
Pay off of the First Portfolio = S $
Pay off of the Second Portfolio:
If Stock Price S > K, then
Call Position Pay off = (S-K) and Put Position Pay off = 0 and Bond Pay off = K
Net Pay Off = S-K + K = $ S
If Stock Price S < K, then
Call Position Pay Off = 0 and Put Position Pay Off = - (K - S)
Bond Pay Off = K
Net Pay Off = - K + S + K = $ S
As is observable, the net future payoffs for both portfolios is $ S irrespective of the asset's future price, option's strike price, maturity, and premiums. By the law of one price if two portfolios have the same payoff irrespective of future occurences, then both portfolios should have the same price.
Hence, Price of Portfolio 1 (= Price of the stock in the portfolio) = C - P + K / e^(r x T) (bond price should be equal to the expected future face value redemption discounted at the risk-free rate with bond tenure being equal to the option's maturity)
Therefore. S0 = C0 - P0 + Ke^(-r x T) or S0 + P0 = C0 + Ke^(-r x T)

Problem 1: - Using the Black/Scholes formula and put/call parity, value a European put option on the equity in Amgen, which has the following characteristics. Expiration: Current stock price of Amgen: Strike Price: Volatility of Amgen Stock price: Risk-free rate (continuously compounded): Dividends: 3 months (i.e., 60 trade days) $53.00 $50.00 26% per year 2% None If the market price of the Amgen put is actually $2.00 per share, is the above estimate of volatility higher or lower than the...
Given the following parameters use put-call parity to determine the price of a put option with the same exercise price. Current stock price: $48.00 Call option exercise price: $50.00 Sales price of call options: $3.80 Months until expiration of call options: 3 Risk free rate: 2.6 percent Compounding: Continuous A) Price of put option = $5.48 B) Price of put option = $4.52 C) Price of put option = $6.13
Given the following parameters use put-call parity to determine the price of a put option with the same exercise price. Show your work. Current stock price: $48.00 Call option exercise price: $50.00 Sales price of call options: $3.80 Months until expiration of call options: 3 Risk free rate: 2.6 percent Compounding: Continuous A) Price of put option = $5.48 B) Price of put option = $4.52 C) Price of put option = $6.13
Problem 22-8 Put-Call Parity A put option and a call option with an exercise price of $75 and three months to expiration sell for $1.35 and $5.70, respectively. If the risk-free rate is 4.4 percent per year, compounded continuously, what is the current stock price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Current stock price
Put-Call Parity The current price of a stock is $35, and the annual risk-free rate is 3%. A call option with a strike price of $31 and with 1 year until expiration has a current value of $6.60. What is the value of a put option written on the stock with the same exercise price and expiration date as the call option? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. How do you calculate the negative...
Put-call parity suggests that Select one: a. the sum of the prices of a stock and a call equal zero b. the sum of the prices of a put and a call equal zero c. the sum of the prices of a stock, a call, a put, and a bond equal zero d. sum of the prices of a stock and a put must equal the sum of the prices of a call and a discounted bond with the maturity...
9. Put-call parity and the value of a put option Aa Aa E Consider two portfolios A and B. At the expiration date, t, both portfolios have identical payoffs. Portfolio A consists of a put option and one share of stock. Portfolio B has a call option (with the same strike price and expiration date as the put option) and cash in the amount equal to the present value (PV) of the strike price discounted at the continuously compounded risk-free...
Assume put-call parity holds. One stock is selling for $33 per share. Calls with a $30 strike and 180 days until expiration are selling for $6. What should be the put price? Suppose risk-free rate is 4%.
The put-call parity holds only when future stock price changes as described in a binomial tree. (a) True (b) False
A put option and a call option on a stock have the same expiration date and the same exercise (or strike price). Both options expire in 6 months. Assume that put-call parity holds and interest rate is positive. If both call and put options have the same price, which of the following is true? A) Put option is in-the-money. B) Call option is in-the-money. C) Both call and put options are in-the-money. D) Both call and put options are out-of-the-money.
