CHAPTER 16
OPTION VALUATION
1. Intrinsic value = S0 X = $55 $50 = $5.00
Time value = C Intrinsic value = $6.50 $5.00 = $1.50
3. Using put-call parity: Put = C S0 + PV(X) + PV(Dividends)
$2.50 = $3.00 S0 + $75/(1 + .08) + 0 S0 = $69.94
4. Put values also increase as the volatility of the underlying stock increases. We see this
from the parity relationship as follows:
C = P + S0 PV(X) PV(Dividends)

c. (2) Call B. Despite the higher price of stock B, call B is cheaper than call A.
This can be explained by a lower time to maturity.
d. (2) Call B. This would explain its higher price.
e. (3) Not enough information. The call with the lower exercise price sells for
more than the call with the higher exercise price. The values given are
consistent with either stock having higher volatility.

10. a. A delta-neutral portfolio is perfectly hedged against small price changes in the
underlying asset. This is true both for price increases and decreases. That is, the
11. a. Delta is the change in the option price for a given instantaneous change in the stock
price. The change is equal to the slope of the option price diagram.
page-pf4
12. The best estimate for the change in price of the option is: Change in asset price × delta
= ($6) ( .65) = $3.90. The option price is estimated to increase by $3.90.

14. The number of calls needed to create a delta-neutral hedge is inversely proportional to
15. A delta-neutral portfolio can be created with any of the following combinations: long
stock and short calls, long stock and long puts, short stock and long calls, and short
stock and short puts.
17. P = XerT [1 N(d2)] S0 eT [1 N(d1)] = $6.60
18. Use the Black-Scholes spreadsheet and change the input for each of the followings:
a. Time to expiration = 3 months = .25 year C falls to $5.14
19. A straddle is a call and a put. The Black-Scholes value is:

20. The call price will decrease by less than $1. The change in the call price would be $1
21. Holding firm-specific risk constant, higher beta implies higher total stock volatility.
Therefore, the value of the put option increases as beta increases.
23. The call option with a high exercise price has a lower hedge ratio. Both d1 and N(d1)
24. The call option is more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The option elasticity
25. The call option’s implied volatility has increased. If this were not the case, then the call
price would have fallen.
27. As the stock price becomes infinitely large, the hedge ratio of the call option [N(d1)]
28. The hedge ratio of a put option with a very small exercise price is zero. As X decreases,

Implied volatility has increased because the value of an option increases with greater volatility.
c. Implied volatility increases to .4087 when maturity decreases to four months.
The shorter maturity decreases the value of the option; therefore, in order for the
option price to remain unchanged at $8, implied volatility must increase.

Step 3: Form a riskless portfolio made up of one share of stock and two written calls.

a. We start by finding the value of Pu . From this point, the put can fall to an
expiration-date value of Puu = $0 (since at this point the stock price is uuS0 = $121)

Thus, the following portfolio will be worth $121 at option expiration regardless of the

The portfolio must have a current market value equal to the present value of $121:
Next we find the value of Pd . From this point (at which dS0 = $95), the put can fall to an
expiration-date value of Pdu = $5.50 (since at this point the stock price is

95 + Pd = $110/1.05 = $104.762 Pd = $9.762
Finally, we solve for P using the values of Pu and Pd . From its initial value, the put can rise
to a value of Pd = $9.762 (at this point, the stock price is dS0 = $95) or fall to a value of Pu
