putCallParity: Put-Call Parity

Description

Put--call parity

Usage

putCallParity(what, call, put, S, X, tau, r, q = 0, tauD = 0, D = 0)

Value

Numeric vector.

Arguments

what

character: what to compute. Currently only call or put are supported.

call

call price

put

put price

S

underlier

X

strike

tau

time to expiry

r

interest rate

q

dividend rate

tauD

numeric vector: time to dividend

D

numeric vector: dividends

Author

Enrico Schumann

Details

Put--call parity only works for European options. The function is vectorised (like vanillaOptionEuropean), except for dividends.

Examples

S <- 100; X <- 100; tau <- 1; r <- 0.02; q <- 0.0;
vol <- 0.3; D <- 20; tauD <- 0.5
call <- vanillaOptionEuropean(S, X, tau, r, q, vol^2,
                              tauD = tauD, D = D, type = "call")$value
put  <- vanillaOptionEuropean(S, X, tau, r, q, vol^2,
                              tauD = tauD, D = D, type = "put")$value

## recover the call from the put (et vice versa)
all.equal(call, putCallParity("call", put = put,  S=S, X=X, tau=tau,
                              r=r, q=q, tauD=tauD, D=D))
all.equal(put, putCallParity("put",  call = call, S=S, X=X, tau=tau,
                             r=r, q=q, tauD=tauD, D=D))
