Valuing a Derivative Using a One-Period Binomial Model Flashcard Deck - 8 Cards

Flashcard 1: In a one-period binomial option model, what does the hedge ratio represent?

Answer: The number of shares of the underlying asset bought for each call option written to create a riskless portfolio.

Flashcard 2: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), what is the formula to calculate the hedge ratio \(h\) for a call option?

Answer: \[h = \frac{c_u - c_d}{S_u - S_d}\]

Flashcard 3: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), how is the initial value of the hedged portfolio \(V_0\) determined?

Answer: By discounting the guaranteed future portfolio value (either up-move or down-move) back to the present at the risk-free rate.

Flashcard 4: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), how is the expected payoff of an option calculated using risk-neutral probabilities?

Answer: As the probability-weighted average of the option's up-move payoff and down-move payoff.

Flashcard 5: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), what variables are needed to construct a one-period binomial model for an option?

Answer: Beginning underlying value, option exercise price, up-move return, down-move return, and the risk-free rate.

Flashcard 6: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), once the hedged portfolio value \(V_0\) is known, how is the call option value \(c_0\) isolated?

Answer: By subtracting \(c_0\) from the stock position value: \[V_0 = h S_0 - c_0 \implies c_0 = h S_0 - V_0\]

Flashcard 7: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), what does the hedge ratio \(h\) represent when valuing a call option?

Answer: The number of shares of the underlying stock to buy for each call option written to create a riskless, perfectly hedged portfolio.

Flashcard 8: In Derivatives (Binomial Model), what does risk neutrality mean in derivatives pricing?

Answer: It means we can discount the expected future payoff of a derivative at the risk-free rate, regardless of the risk preferences of the investor, because the payoff can be perfectly replicated.
