11.2
A Simple Binomial Model
A stock price is currently $20In three months it will be either $22 or $18
Stock Price = $22
Stock Price = $18
Stock price = $20
11.3
Stock Price = $22Option Price = $1
Stock Price = $18Option Price = $0
Stock price = $20Option Price=?
A Call Option (Figure 11.1, page 242)
A 3-month call option on the stock has a strike price of 21.
11.4
Consider the Portfolio: long Δ sharesshort 1 call option
Portfolio is riskless when 22Δ – 1 = 18Δ or Δ = 0.25
22Δ – 1

Setting Up a Riskless Portfolio
11.5
Valuing the Portfolio(Risk-Free Rate is 12%)
The riskless portfolio is: long 0.25 sharesshort 1 call option
The value of the portfolio in 3 months is 22 x 0.25 – 1 = 4.50
The value of the portfolio today is 4.5e – 0.12x0.25 = 4.3670
11.6
Valuing the OptionThe portfolio that is
long 0.25 sharesshort 1 option
is worth 4.367The value of the shares is
5.000 (= 0.25 x 20 )The value of the option is therefore
0.633 (= 5.000 – 4.367 )

Generalization (Figure 11.2, page 243)
A derivative lasts for time T and is dependent on a stock

Generalization(continued)
Consider the portfolio that is long Δ shares and short 1 derivative
The portfolio is riskless when S0uΔ – ƒu = S0dΔ – ƒd or

S0uΔ – ƒu
S0dΔ – ƒd
11.9
Generalization(continued)
Value of the portfolio at time T is S0uΔ – ƒu
Value of the portfolio today is (S0uΔ – ƒu)e–rT
Another expression for the portfolio value today is S0Δ – fHence
ƒ = S0Δ – (S0uΔ – ƒu )e–rT
11.10
Generalization(continued)
Substituting for Δ we obtainƒ = [ pƒu + (1 – p)ƒd ]e–rT

p as a Probability
It is natural to interpret p and 1-p as probabilities of up and down movementsThe value of a derivative is then its expected payoff in a risk-neutral world discounted at the risk-free rate

Irrelevance of Stock’s Expected Return
When we are valuing an option in terms of the the price of the underlying asset, the probability of up and down movements in the real world are irrelevantThis is an example of a more general result stating that the expected return on the underlying asset in the real world is irrelevant
11.13
Risk-neutral Valuation
When the probability of an up and down movements are p and 1-p the expected stock price at time T is S0erT
This shows that the stock price earns the risk-free rateBinomial trees illustrate the general result that to value a derivative we can assume that the expected return on the underlying asset is the risk-free rate and discount at the risk-free rate (ƒ = [ p ƒu + (1 – p )ƒd ]e-rT )This is known as using risk-neutral valuation
11.14
Original Example Revisited
Since p is the probability that gives a return on the stock equal to the risk-free rate. We can find it from20e0.12 x 0.25 = 22p + 18(1 – p )which gives p = 0.6523Alternatively, we can use the formula

Valuing the Option Using Risk-Neutral Valuation
The value of the option is e–0.12 x 0.25 (0.6523 x 1 + 0.3477 x 0)
= 0.633
S0u = 22ƒu = 1
S0d = 18ƒd = 0

Valuing a Call OptionFigure 11.4, page 247
Value at node B = e–0.12 x 0.25(0.6523 x 3.2 + 0.3477 x 0) = 2.0257
Value at node A = e–0.12 x 0.25(0.6523 x 2.0257 + 0.3477 x 0)= 1.2823

Delta
Delta (Δ) is the ratio of the change in the price of a stock option to the change in the price of the underlying stockThe value of Δ varies from node to node
11.21
Choosing u and d
One way of matching the volatility is to set
where σ is the volatility and Δt is the length of the time step. This is the approach used by Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein
