Introduction
• It is also based in an arbitrage argument.• The option can be replicated with the
underlying stock and bonds.• Objective:1 Find the price of the option.2 Derive the replicating portfolio: basis of
hedging and (therefore) investment banking.

Binomial Setting
• The price of the stock only can go up to a given value or down to a given value.

• Besides, there is a bond (bank account) that will pay interest of r.

Binomial Setting (cont.)
• We assume u (up) > d (down).
• For Black and Scholes we will need d = 1/u
• For consistency we also need u > (1+r) > d.
• Example: u = 1.25; d = 0.80; r = 10%.
S=100
S = 125
S = 80

Binomial Setting (cont.)
• Basic model that describes a simple world.
• As the number of steps increases, it becomes more realistic.
• We will price and hedge an option: it applies to any other derivative security.
• Key: we have the same number of states and securities (complete markets)
Basis for arbitrage pricing.

Option Pricing
• Introduce an European call option:– X = 110.– It matures at the end of the period.
S=100
uS = 125
dS = 80
S C (X=110)
Cu = 15
Cd = 0

Option Pricing (cont.)
• We can replicate the option with the stock and the bond.
• Construct a portfolio that pays Cu in state u and Cd in state d.
• The price of that portfolio has to be the same as the price of the option.
• Otherwise there will be an arbitrage opportunity.

Option Pricing (cont.)
• We buy shares and invest B in the bank.
• They can be positive (buy or deposit) or negative (shortsell or borrow).

Option Pricing (cont.)
• The price of the European call must be 9.09.• Otherwise, there is an arbitrage opportunity.• If the price is lower than 9.09 we would buy
the call and shortsell the portfolio.• If higher, the opposite.• We have computed the price and the hedge
simultaneously:– We can construct a call by buying the stock and
borrowing.– Short call: the opposite.

• Trick: count the minimum number of “up” movements that puts the call in the money.
• Call that number a, substitute above and get rid of 0.

• The binomial distribution is tabulated.(a,n,p’) is (approximately) the “delta” of the
call:Number of shares (smaller than one) we need to
replicate the European call.

American Options
• Objective: we want to value an American call that matures in two periods.
• Strike price, X = 100.
• Interest rate: 5% (each period).
• The underlying will pay a dividend of 8 after the first period.
• Problem: should we exercise after the first period or wait until maturity?

American Options (cont.)
• Price of option at node II, 0: regardless of what happens afterwards the call pays zero.
• Price of call option at node I:
a If we exercise it (before the dividend is paid), 110-100 = 10.
b Unexercised: we compute the value of the replicating portfolio.
Then, we compare.
