Suppose over the period [0,T] a certain stock pays a divided whose present value at interest rate r is D. Show that the put-call parity relation for European options at t=0, expiring at T, is
C + D + Kd = P + S
where d is the discount factor from 0 to T.
Solution
Put call parity says that
S+P=C+K*e^(-rt)
We know discount factor=e^(-rt)
So, the above can be written as
S+P=C+K*d
One would need to invest present value of zero coupon bond (which is equivalent to strike price) and present value of dividend
hence, the RHS would become
S+P=D+C+K*d
