-
that the put option price minus the call option price
-
equals the present value of the strike price--
-
that's discounting it from this exercise date to the present--
-
plus the present value of any dividends coming
-
between today and the exercise date, minus the price of the stock.
-
This has to hold because if it didn't hold,
-
there would be an arbitrage opportunity.
-
The put--let me just show you why.
-
This diagram is supposed to explain that.
-
I've got here the intrinsic value of the call, which is the yellow line,
-
and this is an intrinsic value of a put.
-
We've got them both at the same exercise price.
