Theoretical option price= pN(d 1) se-rtN(d2)
|
||||
p v2
|
||||
ln(8 )+ (r +2 )t
|

where d1 = _ r.
|

V-4 t
|
||||
d2 = d1 - v--ft
|

The variables are:
|
||||
p = stock price
|
||||
s = striking price
|
||||
t = time remaining until expiration, expressed as a percent of a year
|
||||
r = current risk-free interest rate
|
||||
v = volatility measured by annual standard deviation
|
||||
ln = natural logarithm
|
||||
N(x) = cumulative normal density function

An important by-product of the model is the exact calculation of the delta - that
|
||||
is, the amount by which the option price can be expected to change for a small
|
||||
change in the stock price. The delta was described in Chapter 3 on call buying, and
|
||||
is more formally known as the hedge ratio.
|
||||
Delta= N(d1)
|
||||
The formula is so simple to use that it can fit quite easily on most programmable cal
|
||||
culators. In fact, some of these calculators can be observed on the exchange floors as
|
||||
the more theoretical floor traders attempt to monitor the present value of option pre
|
||||
miums. Of course, a computer can handle the calculations easily and with great
|
||||
speed. A large number of Black-Scholes computations can be performed in a very
|
||||
short period of time.
|
||||
The cumulative normal distribution function can be found in tabular form in
|
||||
most statistical books. However, for computation purposes, it would be wasteful to
|
||||
repeatedly look up values in a table. Since the normal curve is a smooth curve (it is
|
||||
the "bell-shaped" curve used most commonly to describe population distributions),
|
||||
the cumulative distribution can be approximated by a formula:
|
||||
x = l-z(l.330274y 5 - l.821256y 4 + l.781478y 3 - .356538y 2 + .3193815y)
|
||||
where y 1 and z = .3989423e-<r212
|
||||
= 1 + .2316419lcrl
|
||||
Then N(cr) = x if cr > 0 or N(cr) = 1- x if cr < 0
