5. Put – Call Parity Theorem
The Fundamental Relationship Share Price + Value of Put = P V of Exercise Price + Value of Call Because the payoff of [Buy put, buy share] is identical to [Buy call, Invest PV of Exercise price in safe asset] Thus, Value of Call = Share Price + Value of Put – P V of Exercise Price Value of Put = Value of Call + P V of Exercise Price Share Price
