Definition of a call option
A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated exercise price on or before a stated expiration date.
The price of the option is not the exercise price.

Example
A share of IBM sells for 75. The call has an exercise price of 76. The value of the call seems to be zero. In fact, it is positive and in one example
equal to 2.

S = 75
S = 80, call = 4
S = 70, call = 0Pr. = .5
Pr. = .5
Value of call = .5 x 4 = 2

Definition of a put option
A put option is the right but not the obligation to sell 100 shares of the stock at a stated exercise price on or before a stated expiration date.
The price of the option is not the exercise price.

Example
A share of IBM sells for 75. The put has an exercise price of 76. The value of the put seems to be 1. In fact, it is more than 1 and in our
example equal to 3.

S = 80, put = 0

Put-call parity
S + P = X*exp(-r(T-t)) + C at any time t. s + p = X + c at expiration In the previous examples, interest was
zero or T-t was negligible. Thus S + P=X+C 75+3=76+2 If not true, there is a money pump.
![Page 9: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Puts and calls as random variables
The exercise price is always X. s, p, c, are cash values of stock, put,
and call, all at expiration. p = max(X-s,0) c = max(s-X,0) They are random variables as viewed
from a time t before expiration T. X is a trivial random variable.
![Page 10: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Puts and calls before expiration
S, P, and C are the market values at time t before expiration T.
Xe-r(T-t) is the market value at time t of the exercise money to be paid at T
Traders tend to ignore r(T-t) because it is small relative to the bid-ask spreads.
![Page 11: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Put call parity at expiration
Equivalence at expiration (time T)
s + p = X + c Values at time t in caps:
S + P = Xe-r(T-t) + C
![Page 12: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
No arbitrage pricing impliesput call parity in market prices
Put call parity holds at expiration. It also holds before expiration. Otherwise, a risk-free arbitrage is
available.
![Page 13: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Money pump one
If S + P = Xe-r(T-t) + C + S and P are overpriced. Sell short the stock. Sell the put. Buy the call. “Buy” the bond. For instance deposit Xe-r(T-t)
in the bank. The remaining is profit. The position is riskless because at expiration
s + p = X + c. i.e.,
![Page 14: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Money pump two
If S + P + = Xe-r(T-t) + C S and P are underpriced. “Sell” the bond. That is, borrow Xe-r(T-t) Sell the call. Buy the stock and the put. You have + in immediate arbitrage
profit. The position is riskless because at
expiration s + p = X + c. i.e.,

Money pump either way
If the prices persist, do the same thing over and over – a MONEY PUMP.
The existence of the violates no-arbitrage pricing.

Sample versus population
A sample is a series of random draws from a population.
Sample is inferential. For instance the sample average.
Population: model: For instance the probabilities in the problem set.
![Page 21: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Population mean
The value to which the sample average tends in a very long time.
Each sample average is an estimate, more or less accurate, of the population mean.

Abstraction of finance
Theory works for the expected values. In practice one uses sample means.

Explanation
Square deviations to measure both types of risk.
Take square root of variance to get comparable units.
Its still an estimate of true population risk.
![Page 25: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why divide by 3 not 4?
Sample deviations are probably too small …
because the sample average minimizes them.
Correction needed. Divide by T-1 instead of T.

Rough interpretation of standard deviation
The usual amount by which returns miss the population mean.
Sample standard deviation is an estimate of that amount.
About 2/3 of observations are within one standard deviation of the mean.
About 95% are within two S.D.’s.

Review question
What is the difference between the population mean and the sample average?
![Page 30: Options and risk measurement. Definition of a call option A call option is the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of the stock at a stated](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d595503460f94a39b1f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Answer
Take a sample of T observations drawn from the population
The sample average is (sum of the rates)/T
The sample average tends to the population mean as the number of observations T becomes large.
