Call Early Exercise on
Non-Dividend Paying Stock
From earlier we know that
c > S0 - Xe-rT
Given that C? c
C > S0 - Xe-rT > S0 - X
Thus,C > S0 - X,but if exercised early
C = S0 - X
Hence,no reason to exercise early

7.14
Early Exercise
Usually,there is some chance that an
American option will be exercised early
An exception is an American call on a
non-dividend paying stock
– This should NEVER be exercised early
1,NO income is sacrificed
2,Strike price is paid later
3,Holding the call provides insurance against
stock price falling below strike price

7.15
An Extreme Situation
For an American call option with
S0 = 100,T = 0.25,X = 60,r = 5%,D = 0
– Should you exercise if …
1,You want to hold the stock over
the next 3 months?
2,You do NOT feel that the stock
is worth holding for the next 3 months?

Put Early Exercise on
Non-Dividend Paying Stock
Early exercise of a put is a trade-off between
– Receiving the strike price sooner
– Risk that stock price will rise above the strike price
If the interest on the strike price outweighs the
insurance benefit,early exercise is beneficial
Example is deep in the money puts

Put-Call Parity; No Dividends
(Equation 7.3,page 174)
Consider the following 2 portfolios:
– Portfolio A,European call on a stock + PV of the
strike price in cash
– Portfolio C,European put on the stock + the stock
Both are worth MAX(ST,X ) at the maturity of the
options
They must therefore be worth the same today
– This means that
c + Xe -rT = p + S0

Because these two portfolios have identical
payoffs,arbitrage theory states that they
must cost the same to establish.

If the stock pays dividends,whose net present value
today is denoted as D,then all that we need to do is to
replace S0 with S0-D and pretend like there are no
dividends
