The two binary terminal payoffs are complementary:
in every state, including . Long one of each is therefore exactly a unit zero-coupon bond. The law of one price gives digital put-call parity:
With deterministic interest, the two separate values are and . There is no need to assume a continuous terminal price distribution: the strict inequality for the put and weak inequality for the call allocate any atom at the strike exactly once.
