ABSTRACT

In Chapter 23 we solved the Black Scholes equation for a Call Option to yield:

C S t SN d Ke N d r T t( , ) ( ) ( )= − − −( )1 2

where

and where N(x) denotes the standard cumulative normal distribution. is is a fairly complicated formula, although of course it is easy to code

it into a spreadsheet and thereby get numerical values for whatever input parameters are used.
