This means that ST has a lognormal distribution. A variable with this distribution can take any value between zero and infinity. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

All rights reserved. 12-11 Finance 457 12.3 The Expected Return • The expected return, m, required by investors from a stock depends on the riskiness of the stock. • The higher the risk, the higher m, ceteris paribus. • m also depends on interest rates in the economy • We could spend a lot of time on the determinants of m, but it turns out that the value of a stock option, when expressed in terms of the value of the underlying stock, does not depend on m at all. • There is however, one aspect of m that frequently causes confusion and is worth explaining. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-12 Finance 457 A subtle but important difference δS ( μδt , σ δt ) S • Shows that mdt is the expected percentage change in the stock price in a very short period of time d t . • This means that m is the expected return in a very short short period of time dt . • It is tempting to assume that m is also the continuously compounded return on the stock over a relatively long period of time. • However, this is not the case. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-13 Finance 457 A subtle but important difference • The continuously compounded return on the stock over T years is: 1 ST ln T S0 2 s σ Equation (12.7): h μ , 2 T Shows that the expected value of this is μ s2 The distinction between m and μ 2 is subtle but important.

All rights reserved. 12-15 Finance 457 A subtle but important difference • The above shows that a simple term like expected return is ambiguous. • It can refer to μ s 2 2 or m • For example, if your portfolio has had the following returns over the last five years: 30%; 20%; 10%; –20%; –40%; • What is the expected return? • Unless otherwise stated m will be expected return. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-16 Finance 457 12.4 Volatility • The volatility of a stock, s, is a measure of our uncertainty about the returns. • Stocks typically have a volatility between 20% and 50% 2 s σ • From h μ , 2 T • The volatility of a stock price can be defined as the standard deviation of the return provided by the stock in one year when the return is expressed using continuous compounding. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-17 Finance 457 The Volatility • The volatility of an asset is the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return in 1 year • As an approximation it is the standard deviation of the percentage change in the asset price in 1 year McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-20 Finance 457 Assumptions 1. The stock price follows a lognormal process with m and s constant. 2. Short selling with full use of proceeds permitted. 3. No transactions costs or taxes. 4. No dividends during the life of the derivative. 5. No riskless arbitrage opportunities. 6. Security trading is continuous. 7. The risk-free rate, r, is constant and the same for all maturities. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-21 Finance 457 12.6 Derivation of the Black-ScholesMerton Differential Equation • The stock price process we are using: dS mSdt + sSdz • Let f be the price of a call option or other derivative contingent upon S. The variable f must be some function of S and t. From Itô’s lemma f f 1 2 f 2 2 f df mS s S dt sSdz 2 t 2 S S S McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

All rights reserved. 12-28 Finance 457 12.7 Risk Neutral Valuation • Without a doubt, the single most important tool for the analysis of derivatives. • Note that the Black–Scholes–Merton differential equation does not involve any variable that is affected by the risk preferences of investors. • The only variables are S0, T, s, and r. • So any set of risk preferences can be used when evaluating f. Let’s use risk neutrality. • Now we can calculate the value of any derivative by discounting its expected payoff at the risk-free rate. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-29 Finance 457 Risk Neutral Valuation of Forwards • Consider a long forward contract that matures at time T with delivery price K. • The payoff at maturity is ST – K • The value of the forward contract is the expected value at time T in a risk-neutral world discounted at the risk-free rate. f = e–rT Ê(ST – K) • Since K is constant, f = e–rT [Ê(ST) – K] • In a risk-neutral world, m becomes r so Ê(ST) = S0 erT • We have f = S0 – K e–rT which is the no-arbitrage result we have from chapter 3.

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. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

All rights reserved. 12-35 Finance 457 12.8 Black–Scholes Pricing Formulae To provide intuition, rewrite the Black-Scholes call formula as: ce rT [ S 0 N(d1 )e K N(d 2 )] rT N(d2) is the probability that the option will be exercised in a risk-neutral world, so KN(d2) is the expected value of the cost of exercise. S0N(d1)erT is the expected value of a variable that equals ST if ST > K and is zero otherwise in a riskneutral world. The present value at the risk-free rate is the value of a call McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-36 Properties of the Black–Scholes Formulae Finance 457 Consider what happens when ST becomes large. The option is almost certain to finish in-the-money, so the call becomes like a forward contract. From chapter 3 we have f = S0 – K e–rT c S 0 N(d1 ) Ke rT N(d 2 ) When S0 becomes large, d1 and d2 become large, so N(d2) and N(d1) become close to 1 The Black-Scholes call price reduces to the futures price. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-37 Properties of the Black–Scholes Formulae Finance 457 Consider what happens when s approaches zero. Because the stock is riskless, ST = S0 erT At expiry, the payoff from the call will be max(S0 erT – K, 0) If we discount at r c = e–rTmax(S0 erT – K, 0) = max(S0 – K e–rT, 0) McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-38 Properties of the Black–Scholes Formulae Finance 457 If S0 > K e–rT When s approaches zero, d1 and d2 tend to +, so N(d2) and N(d1) become close to 1. The Black–Scholes call price is then: S0– K e–rT If S0 < K e–rT When s approaches zero, d1 and d2 tend to –, so N(d2) and N(d1) become close to zero. The Black–Scholes call price is then 0 So, the Black–Scholes value of a call when s approaches zero c = max(S0 – K e–rT, 0) McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

The stock price S0 is replaced by S0 + (M/N)W 2. The volatility is the volatility of the equity (I.e. the volatility of the shares plus the warrants, not just the shares). 3.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-42 Finance 457 Implied Volatility • The implied volatility of an option is the volatility for which the Black-Scholes price equals the market price • The is a one-to-one correspondence between prices and implied volatilities • Traders and brokers often quote implied volatilities rather than dollar prices McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-43 Finance 457 12.12 The Causes of Volatility • Trading itself can be said to be a cause. • When implied volatilities are calculated, the life of an option should be measured in trading days. • Furthermore, if daily data are used to provide a historical volatility estimate, day when the exchange are closed should be ignored and the volatility per annum should be calculated from the volatility per trading day using this formula: volatility per annum volatilit y per tradin g day number of trading days per annum • The normal assumption is that there are 252 trading days per year. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-44 Finance 457 Causes of Volatility • Volatility is usually much greater when the market is open (i.e. the asset is trading) than when it is closed • For this reason time is usually measured in “trading days” not calendar days when options are valued McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-45 Finance 457 Warrants & Dilution (pages 249-50) • When a regular call option is exercised the stock that is delivered must be purchased in the open market • When a warrant is exercised new Treasury stock is issued by the company • This will dilute the value of the existing stock • One valuation approach is to assume that all equity (warrants + stock) follows geometric Brownian motion McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-46 Finance 457 12.13 Dividends • European options on dividend-paying stocks are valued by substituting the stock price less the present value of dividends into Black-Scholes • Only dividends with ex-dividend dates during life of option should be included • The “dividend” should be the expected reduction in the stock price anticipated. • Elton and Gruber estimate this as 72% of the dividend.
