Black-Scholes Formula

Black-Scholes Formula
Option prices: Call option: Strike price Time to maturity Put option: Strike price Time to maturity

must satisfy the following PDE:

Black-Scholes Formula
Black-Scholes formula: European call:
European put:
where

Example
What is the price of a European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $52, the strike price is $50, the risk-free interest rate is 12% per annum and the volatility is 30% per annum and the time to maturity is three months?

Put-Call Parity Revisited
Suppose that a call and a put with the same strike price, the same time to maturity and on the same underlying stock. Then,

Some Extensions:Options on Dividend Stocks
Options on dividend stocks: Consider a 6-month European call
option on a stock when there are two dividend payments expected in two months and five months.
The dividend of each payment is expected to be $0.5.
Current stock price $40, volatility 30% per annum, risk free interest: 9% per annum;
Strike price $40

Some Extensions:Options on Dividend Stocks
Usually we can view the whole stock prices as the sum of two parts: Riskless component that corresponds
to the known dividend during the life of the option;
Risky component. Reset to be the current stock
price minus the present value of dividends. Then we can use the B-S formula.

Some Extensions:Currency Options
Options on foreign currencies: Consider a four-month European
call option traded in the US market on the British pound. Current exchange rate US$1.9/pound; Strike price: US$1.95 Risk free interest rates: 8% in US,
11% in UK Exchange rate volatility: 20%

The duplication argument will lead to

Some Extensions:Currency Options
Black-Scholes formula for foreign currency options: Call option:
Put option:

Implied Volatility

Implied Volatility
In the B-S formula, only one thing is unobservable: stock’s volatility.
One way: Use the historical volatility to price
options. But the historical information might be outdated.

Implied Volatility
More commonly, traders use the following way:
Implied volatility
Prices of Actively Traded Options
VolatilityPricing Non-Actively
Traded Options

Implied Volatility
Example: Call option with strike price $30. Two stocks, A and B. A is more volatile and B is more placid.
A: Price at maturity $10 $20 $30 $40 $50
Payoffs $0 $0 $0 $10 $20
B: Price at maturity $20 $25 $30 $35 $40
Payoffs $0 $0 $0 $5 $10

Mathematically, option prices and are both increasing functions of . Then we can use the so called bisection method.
