Put-Call Parity
• S + P = C + PV(K)
• C = S + P- PV(K)
• So if Debt is = S-C
= S-(S + P- PV(K))
Debt → PV(K)-P

Alternative interpretation
• Payoffs:
▪ Firm assets < debt payment: put is exercised!
• Put owner gets: Max(K-S,0), i.e. the difference between the required
debt payment (K) and the firms’ assets (S)
• Debt holder gets the firms’ assets!
▪ Firm assets > debt payment: put expires (worthless)!
• Debt holder receives the required debt payment: i.e. risk-free amount

Example: Corporate Securities as Options
• AMC Industries
▪ Currently a 100% equity finance firm
▪ Market capitalization = $100M = $40 per share 2.5 M shares
▪ Pays no dividends
▪ Implied volatility of AMC stock = 40%
• AMC is considering adding leverage
▪ Issue $60M face value of 5-year, zero coupon bonds
▪ Use proceeds from the bond to pay a special one-time dividend
▪ For simplicity, assume perfect capital markets
• i.e. assume the MM conditions hold: no tax consequences, etc.
19
• Questions:
1. What interest rate (yield to maturity) will AMC have to promise to
pay to investors in these risky bonds?
• How does this rate compare to the 5-year risk-free rate of 6% (EAR)?
2. How much money will AMC raise by issuing the bonds?
3. How risky is AMC’s debt? How risky is its levered equity?

Beyond Formulas… Logic and Learning
• Formulas:
▪ Example: given assumptions → compute a price
35
36
18
Free cash flow
• Account for cash flow effects of your project elsewhere in the firm
• Account for changes in the timing of cash flows
• Pay special attention to the cash flows at the end of your project
• Abandonment costs, liquidation proceeds, etc.
37
Valuation
• Main valuation methods: (1) comparable or multiple-based,
(2) fundamental valuation, (3) no arbitrage valuation
38
19
Valuation
2) Fundamental valuation
▪ To value a firm or project
• Determine its FCF
• Make the FCF comparable by calculating their present values
• Compute the present values using your opportunity cost of capital

Projecting growth
• When making growth forecasts, it is crucial to be both
realistic and internally consistent
• E.g., do not assume your firm grows faster than its industry forever
• What drives earnings growth?
Earnings Sales
Earnings = Assets

Financial options
• Options give the holder the right but not the obligation to
take some action
• Main insight: Flexibility and downside protection can be very
valuable
▪ The one-sidedness of options turns volatility (risk / uncertainty) from
something bad into something good
• Option values are increasing in volatility
• Option holders have an incentive to increase volatility
➢ Executive stock options: counterbalance managerial risk aversion
➢ Equity as a call option on firm value: increase risk at expense of lenders

Final Exam: Format
I. Comprehensive: every class
I. Use main conceptual idea from each class; apply it in practice
II. Start with the second half: financial options; real options
III. Length approx.: 150 Minutes (2 hours and a half)
II. Can bring a “formulario” (one-page/two sided)
I. Formulas to solve problems: compute X and Y
II. Use reality to learn about finance (prices to formulas)
III. Be ready to make recommendations: decisions!
III. Practice: “active / not passive” learning strategy
I. Explain the main ideas to others
II. Study guide under time constraints; without looking at solutions
III. Practice exams in “pairs” of questions (2 questions at one time);
consider “alternative questions”
