Chapter 16 - Option Valuation
1. 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) or rise to a final value
of Pud = $5.50 (since at this point the stock price is udS0 = $104.50, which is less than the
Buy 3 puts at price Pu 16.50 0.00
Total $121.00 $121.00
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

$104 .50$90 .25 =1 . 0
Thus, the following portfolio will be worth $110 at option expiration regardless of the
ultimate stock price:

Finally, we solve for P using the values of Pu and Pd . From its initial value, the put can rise

c. The goal is a portfolio with the same exposure to the stock as the hypothetical
protective put portfolio. Since the put’s hedge ratio is – .5, we want to hold (1 –
Total 100 110
This payoff is identical to that of the protective put portfolio. Thus, the stock
plus bills strategy replicates both the cost and payoff of the protective put.

6. Given S0 = X when the put and the call are at-the-money, the relationship of put-call
parity, P = C – S0 + PV(X) can be written as: P = C – S0 + PV(S0).

Answer:
udS0 = $60.00 × 0.80 = $48
duS0 = $40 × 1.20 = $48
ddS0 = $40 × 0.80 = $32
a. The value of a call option at expiration is: Max(0, S – X)
Cuu = Max (0, $72 – $60) = $12
