458 Part IV: Additional Considerations
|
||||
This approximation is quite accurate for option pricing purposes, since one is not
|
||||
really interested in thousandths of a point where option prices are concerned.
|
||||
Example: Suppose that XYZ is trading at 45 and we are interested in evaluating the
|
||||
July 50 call, which has 60 days remaining until expiration. Furthermore, assume that
|
||||
the volatility of XYZ is 30% and that the risk-free interest rate is currently 10%. The
|
||||
theoretical value calculation is shown in detail, in order that those readers who wish
|
||||
to program the model will have something to compare their calculations against.
|
||||
page:
|
||||
Initially, determine t, d1, and d2, by referring to the formulae on the previous
|
||||
t = 60/365 = .16438 years
|
||||
d _ In (45/50) + (.1 + .3 x .3/2) x .16438
|
||||
1-
|
||||
.3 X ✓.16438
|
||||
= -.10536 + (.145 X .16438) = __ 67025 .3 X .40544
|
||||
d2 = -.67025 - .3 ✓.16438 = -.67025 - (.3 x .40544) = -.79189
|
||||
Now calculate the cumulative normal distribution function for d1 and d2 by
|
||||
referring to the above formulae:
|
||||
dl = -.67025
|
||||
l 1
|
||||
y = l + (.2316419 I -.67025 I) = 1.15526 = ·86561
|
||||
z = .3989423e--(-.67025 X -.67025)/2
|
||||
= .3989423e-0·22462 = .31868
|
||||
There are too many calculations involved in the computation of the fifth-order
|
||||
polynomial to display them here. Only the result is given:
|
||||
X = .74865
|
||||
Since we are determining the cumulative normal distribution of a negative
|
||||
number, the distribution is determined by subtracting x from l.
|
||||
N(d1) = N(-.67O25) = l -x = l - .74865 = .25134
|
||||
In a similar manner, which requires computing new values for x, y, and z,
|
||||
N(d2) = N(-.79179) = 1- .78579 = .21421
