3.  Odds against event E =&/$(O} OQ ’

4.  Conditional Prob of A given that B has

occurred = P(A“B) =$ Kz

$ z" P(B) $ 0.

5.  Multiplication Rule (Joint probability that

 both events will happen):

P(A and B) = P(AB) = P(A“B) ! P(B)

P(B and A) = P(BA) = P(B“A) ! P(A)

6.  Addition Rule (Prob that event A or B will

occur):

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(AB)

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) (when events are

mutually exclusive because P(AB) = 0)

7. 

Independent Events:

•  Two events are independent if:

P(B“A) = P(B) or if P(A“B) =

P(A)

•  Multiplication Rule for two

independent events = P(A & B) =

P(AB) = P(A)! P(B)

•  Multiplication Rule for three

independent events = P(A and B

and C) = P(ABC) = P(A) ! P(B)

! P(C)

8. 

Complement Rule (for an event S) = P(S)

+ P(SC) = 1 (where S

C is the event not S)

9. 

Total Probability Rule:

P(A) = P(AS) + P(ASC) = P(A“S)!P(S) +

P(A“SC)!P(SC)

P(A) = P(AS1) + P(AS2) +….+ P(ASn) =

P(A“S1)!P(S1) + P(A“S2)!P(S2)… +

P(A“Sn)!P(Sn)

and exhaustive scenarios)

1.  Value of the contract to the ‘Long’ at

expiration = ST – F0(T)

2. 

Value of the contract to the ‘Short’ at

expiration = F0(T) – ST

5.  TED spread = LIBOR – T-Bill rate

6.  At expiration (for option Buyer):

•  Value of Call option =

•  Profit from Call option =

Max (0, ST - X) – c0 

•  Value of Put option = pT =

Max (0, X- ST)

7. 

At expiration (for option Seller):

•  Profit from Call option =

Reading 58: Basics of Derivative Pricing &

Valuation

1.  Pricing of risky assets = S0 =7 €÷!

&'ì'³  “  

2.  Commodity = F 0, T = S0 e(r – 2)T where, 2 =

Convenience yield 0 Cost of carry

3.  S0 =7 €÷“

&'ì'´  “  – 3 + 4 

where, 3 (theta) = Present value of the

costs and 4 (gamma) = Present value of

 benefits

4.  Arbitrage and Derivatives = Underlying

asset + Opposite position in derivative =

Underlying payoff – Derivative payoff =

Rf return

5. 

Pricing and Valuation of Forward

Contracts:

•  At Expiration F0 ( T) = S0 (1 + r) T or

S0 = F0 (T) / (1 + r) T 

• 

Value of forward (long) during

contract life (where t < T) = Vt (T) =

St – F0 (T) / (1 + r)(T – t)

 

• 

Value of forward (short) during

contract life (where t < T ) = Vt 

(T) = F0 (T) / (1 + r) (T – t) - St 

•  Value of forward (long) at expiration

(where t = T) = VT (T) = ST - F0 (T)

• 

Value of forward (long) at initiation

(where t = 0) = Vt (0, T) = S0 – F0 (T) /

(1 + r) T

 = 0

•  Forward price of an asset with benefits

and/or costs = (S0 – 4 + 3) (1 + r) T =

S0 (1 + r)T

 – (4 - 3) (1+ r)T

 •  Value of Forward contract with

 benefits and/or costs during the life of

the contract = St – (4 - 3) (1 + r) t - F0 

(T) / (1 + r) (T – t) 

6.  FRAs: An example of 3 ! 9 FRA (read as

three by nine):

•  Contract expires in 90 days

• 

Underlying loan settled in 270 days

• 

Underlying rate is 180-day LIBOR•  For Synthetic FRA (take long position

in a 270-day Euro$ T.D and short

 position in a 90-day Euro$ T.D

•  For synthetic forward position in a 90-

day zero-coupon that begins in 30

days (buy 120-day & sell 30-day zero

coupon bonds)

7.  Payoff of Call options:

•  At expiration call option = c T = Max

(0, ST –X)

•  Profit (call buyer) = Max (0, ST – X) –

c0 

•  Profit (call seller) = -Max (0, ST – X)

+ c0 

8.  Payoff of Put options:

• 

 p T = Max (0, X- ST)

•  Profit (put buyer) = Max (0, X-ST) – p0 

•  Profit (put seller) = - Max (0, X – ST) +

 p0 

9. 

Max Profit/Loss for Option writer/holder:

•  Max profit of option seller/writer! 

Option premium.

•  Max loss of option seller/writer! 

unlimited in case of calls; large in case

of puts (bounded by zero).

•  Max loss of option holder!Option

 premium

Put-Call Parity

10.  Protective Put

• 

Value PP = p0 + S0 

•  Payoff at expiration (put out-of-the-

money) = ST.

• 

Payoff at expiration (put in-the-

money) = (X-ST) + ST = X.

11.  Fiduciary Call

• 

Value FC = c0 + X / (1+r) T 

•  Payoff at expiration (when call out-of-

the-money) = X.

•  Payoff at expiration (call in-the-

money) = X + (ST – X) = ST.

12.  Put-Call Parity (to avoid arbitrage) = c0 +

•  cT = max (0, ST –X)

•  When ST + X"cT = 0

•  When ST> X"cT = ST – X

•  Value at expiration = cT 

•  Profit = cT – c0

•  Profit = pT – p0 

•  Maximum profit = X – p0 

•  Maximum loss = p0

7.  Pricing of Commodity Futures Contracts:

Futures price # Spot price (1 +r) + Storage

costs – Convenience yield

8.  Roll yield = Spot price of a commodity –

Futures contract price or

Roll yield = Futures contract price with

expiration date ‘X’– Futures contract price

with expiration date ‘Y.

9. 

Returns on a passive investment in

commodity futures

= Return on the collateral + RP or

convenience yield net of storage costs.

10.  Sharpe ratio = (Investment return – Rf

return) / S.D. of return
