You can think of a derivative as a mixture of its constituent You can think of a derivative as a mixture of its constituent underliers much as a cake is a mixture of eggs, flour, and underliers much as a cake is a mixture of eggs, flour, and milk in carefully specified proportions. The derivative’s milk in carefully specified proportions. The derivative’s model provides a recipe for the mixture, one whose model provides a recipe for the mixture, one whose ingredients’ quantities vary with time.ingredients’ quantities vary with time.

Important point: d < 1 + r < u to prevent arbitrageImportant point: d < 1 + r < u to prevent arbitrage We construct a hedge portfolio of h shares of stock and We construct a hedge portfolio of h shares of stock and
one short call. Current value of portfolio:one short call. Current value of portfolio: V = hS - CV = hS - C
At expiration the hedge portfolio will be worthAt expiration the hedge portfolio will be worth VVuu = hSu - C = hSu - Cuu
VVdd = hSd - C = hSd - Cdd
If we are hedged, these must be equal. Setting VIf we are hedged, these must be equal. Setting Vuu = V = Vdd
and solving for h givesand solving for h gives

Substituting for V and VSubstituting for V and Vuu

Unfortunately, the tree no longer recombines, as in Unfortunately, the tree no longer recombines, as in Figure 4.6, p. 115Figure 4.6, p. 115. We can still calculate the option . We can still calculate the option value but the tree grows large very fast. See value but the tree grows large very fast. See Figure 4.7, p. 116Figure 4.7, p. 116..

to subtract the present value of the dividends from the to subtract the present value of the dividends from the stock price (as we did in Chapter 3) and let the stock price (as we did in Chapter 3) and let the adjusted stock price follow the binomial up and down adjusted stock price follow the binomial up and down factors. For this problem, see factors. For this problem, see Figure 4.8, p. 117Figure 4.8, p. 117..

With n periods to go, the binomial model can be easily With n periods to go, the binomial model can be easily extended. There is a long and somewhat complex extended. There is a long and somewhat complex looking formula in the book. The basic procedure, looking formula in the book. The basic procedure, however, is the same. See however, is the same. See Figure 4.9, p. 119Figure 4.9, p. 119 in which in which we see below the stock prices the prices of European we see below the stock prices the prices of European and American puts. This illustrates the early exercise and American puts. This illustrates the early exercise possibilities for American puts, which can occur in possibilities for American puts, which can occur in multiple time periods.multiple time periods.
At each step, we must check for early exercise by At each step, we must check for early exercise by comparing the value if exercised to the value if not comparing the value if exercised to the value if not exercised and use the higher value of the two.exercised and use the higher value of the two.
