A Simple Binomial Model
A stock price is currently $20
 In 3 months it will be either $22 or $18

Stock Price = $22
Stock price = $20
Stock Price = $18

A Call Option (Figure 11.1, page 238)
A 3-month call option on the stock has a strike
price of 21.
Stock Price = $22
Option Price = $1
Stock price = $20
Option Price=?
Stock Price = $18
Option Price = $0

Setting Up a Riskless Portfolio

Consider the Portfolio: long D shares
short 1 call option
22D – 1
18D

Portfolio is riskless when 22D – 1 = 18D
or
D = 0.25

Valuing the Portfolio
(Risk-Free Rate is 12%)
The riskless portfolio is:
long 0.25 shares
short 1 call option
 The value of the portfolio in 3 months is
22  0.25 – 1 = 4.50
 The value of the portfolio today is
4.5e – 0.120.25 = 4.3670

Valuing the Option
The portfolio that is
long 0.25 shares
short 1 option
is worth 4.367
 The value of the shares is
5.000 (= 0.25  20 )
 The value of the option is therefore
0.633 (= 5.000 – 4.367 )

Generalization
(continued)
Value of the portfolio at time T is
S0uD – ƒu
 Value of the portfolio today is
(S0uD – ƒu)e–rT
 Another expression for the portfolio
value today is S0D – f
 Hence
ƒ = S0D – (S0uD – ƒu )e–rT

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

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
rate
Binomial trees illustrate the general result that to
value a derivative we can assume that the
expected return on the underlying asset is the riskfree rate and discount at the risk-free rate
This is known as using risk-neutral valuation

S0d = 18

Since p is the probability that gives a return on the
stock equal to the risk-free rate. We can find it from
20e0.12 0.25 = 22p + 18(1 – p )
which gives p = 0.6523
Alternatively, we can use the formula

Irrelevance of Stock’s Expected
Return


When we are valuing an option in terms
of the price of the underlying asset, the
probability of up and down movements in
the real world are irrelevant
This is an example of a more general
result stating that the expected return on
the underlying asset in the real world is
irrelevant

Delta
Delta (D) is the ratio of the change in the
price of a stock option to the change in
the price of the underlying stock
 The value of D varies from node to node

Choosing u and d
One way of matching the volatility is to set
u  es
Dt
d  1 u  e s
Dt
where s is the volatility and Dt is the length
of the time step. This is the approach used
by Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein
