Black-Scholes Call Options
Reasoning behind Black and Scholes is similar to that of the binomial model:
Does a combination of option and shares exist that provides a risk-free payoff?
Assumptions of the model
• Stock prices can move at every moment in time.
• Movements of stock prices are random, and therefore unpredictable.
• Volatility (standard deviation) of stock’s movements is known.

Calculating B-S Call Options
– S = current market price of underlying stock– X = strike price of option– t = amount of time before option expires (in years)– r = annual risk-free interest rate– = annual standard deviation of underlying stock’s
returns– e = 2.718– N(X) = probability of drawing a value less than or equal
to X from standard normal distribution

An Example
• Price of Stock Holm Inc. is currently $28– A European call option on Stock Holm Inc. has expiration
date three months in the future and strike price of $25.– Estimate of standard deviation on Stock Holm Inc. is 40%
and the risk-free rate is 3%.

Option’s Delta
Measures how much the call price changes as the underlying stock price changes:
– Delta is equal to the slope of the solid line in previous graph.– Delta equals the value N(d1) from B-S formula.– When call is far out of the money, delta is close to zero.– When call is deep in the money, delta is close to one.
1/N(d1) is equivalent to hedge ratio (h) from binomial model.
– Investors who own Stock Holm Inc. stock and want to create a hedged portfolio need to sell roughly 1/N(d1) = 1.316 calls for each share in their portfolio.
7
• Replace PV(X) with Xe-rt and C with Black-Scholes equation.
Using B-S to Value Puts
Use put-call parity to determine the price of the put:
S + P = PV(X) + C
P = Xe-rt [1 – N(d2)] – S [1 - N(d1)]
Put option does not always sell for more than its intrinsic value, as can be observed on next slide.
– If stock price is very low, almost certain that option will be exercised at expiration.
– Amount by which put price falls below intrinsic value = time value of money investor loses by having to wait until expiration.

Volatility
Can use historical data to estimate volatility:
• Use daily data if stock traded frequently.
• Otherwise, use weekly or monthly data.
Implied volatility
• From the observed price of an option in the market,we can compute implied volatility by “inverting” the B-S formula.
• Studies showed that out-of-the-money options have higher implied volatility than at-the-money options.
Speculative trading strategies seek to exploit differences in implied volatilities for a single
underlying asset.

WarrantsSecurities issued by firms that grant the right to buy shares of stock at a fixed price for a given
period of time
Similar to call options, with some differences:
1. Warrants are issued by firms. Call options might be issued by other investors.
2. Number of outstanding shares increases when warrants are exercised. No new shares are issued when calls are exercised.
3. Warrants usually have longer maturities than options.4. Firms frequently attach warrants to other securities they
issue.The firm receives capital from warrants once when they are issued and again if they are exercised.
13
Pricing Warrants
Use Black and Scholes model to price warrants.
Must take into account dilution that occurs when firms issue new shares to warrant holders:

• N1 : number of old shares outstanding• N2 : number new shares issued when warrants are exercised
• An example…– On April 12, 2002, UQM Technology issued 1,160,095
additional shares at $4.31/share.– For every five shares, investors received a warrant with
strike price of $5.73 and expiration date on April 12, 2004.

Convertibles
Convertible bonds grant the owner the option to convert the bonds for a certain number of shares.
Conversion ratio
• Number of shares bondholders receive if they convert
Conversion value
• Current stock price x conversion ratio• Provides lower bound on the market
value of convertible bond
• For example…– Amgen Inc. issued in Feb 2002, a 30-year, zero-coupon
convertible bonds with ytm of only 1.125%.– Price of convertible bond = $1,000/(1.01125)30 =
$714.9Investors accepted the low yield because they also received the option to convert each bond with face value of $1,000 into
8.8601 shares of Amgen.

Real Options: Drilling Rights Example
Company analyzes whether it should bid for oil drilling rights for one year on a tract of land.
– Cost of extracting the oil is $18 per barrel.– Current and expected future price of oil is $16 per barrel.NPV approach gives a negative value for this project
What if we take into consideration the volatility of oil prices?
• Could use option models to determine the value of drilling rights: The right to drill is like a call option with exercise price of $18.– Assume volatility of the oil price is 30% and risk free rate is 4%.– Given this volatility, the firm can expect at some point the price
of oil could rise to make drilling profitable.
18
Real Options: Drilling Rights Example
Initial approach: use B-S model to price the option
Bid value: call option value x number of barrels expected in this field
– B-S model is an oversimplification in this case: It assumes that the options can be exercised only at the end of the year.
– More accurate approach: Use binomial model to price the option.

Real Options: McTreat Spot Example
Uncertainties related to this project:
– Level of sales the kiosk will achieve: Would costumers like to purchase McDonald's dessert products from the new locations?– The sensitivity of the McTreat Spot enterprise value to the overall economy
McDonalds evaluates the possibility of investing in McTreat Spot, small kiosks offering ice cream and
frozen yogurt.
What if McDonald’s launches program without testing?
McDonald’s invests in a few product test stores in prime locations.
20
NPV of McTreat Spot
– Potential market is evaluated at 1,000 storefronts.– Cost for setting up each storefront is $750,000: total
investment of $750 million.– Rollout period is 2 years.
• Management estimates the following outcomes:– With 0.4 probability, the project is a hit and generates
free cash flow of $1.5 billion in two years.– With 0.6 probability, the project is a bust. PV of free
cash flows in this case is $500 million in two years.• Management assigns a 13% discount rate to this project.

Immediate rollout would destroy shareholder value.
McDonald’s can learn the value of the 1,000 store chain before investing $750 million by using the test
program.
How much should the company spend for the test program?
22
Test Program as a Call Option
Investing in test stores is similar to a call option:
– Underlying asset: the cash inflows from a 1,000-kiosks– Strike price: the $750 million needed to build the kiosk– McDonalds will exercise the option if the testing program
shows that value of the business is greater than $750 million..
Use binomial model to price the option:
– Underlying asset is always what you get if you exercised the option: In June, 2001, estimated value of McTreat Spot is $704.8 million.
– If value of the option is higher than the cost of the test stores (their negative NPV), invest in the test program.
– Assume risk free rate is 5%.
23
Test Program as a Call Option
• Use risk-neutral method• Expected return on the underlying asset is the risk-free
rate.• Expected value of the asset in 2 years = $704.8(1.05)2 =
$777.0.• p = risk-neutral probability of an up movement• 1 - p = the probability of a down move

Test Program as a Call Option
• Expected payoff on underlying asset equals risk-free rate:• $1,500p + $500(1 – p) = $777• p = 0.277• 1 – p = 0.723.
• Use risk-neutral probabilities to calculate expected cash flows in 2003 from the call option.
• Expected cash flow from option = $750p + $0(1 – p)= $750(0.277) = $207.8
• PV of the call option = $207.8/(1.05)2 = $188.4
As long as the cost of the testing program is less than $188.4 million, McDonald’s should invest in it.
B-S formula can be used to value a European call on a stock that pays no dividends.
Of the five inputs of the model, only volatility is an unknown that analysts need to estimate.
Both debt and equity of a firm have option-like characteristics.
Capital investments with option-like characteristics may be valued using binomial
model or B-S model.
