Black-Scholes
1. C8: Provide a formula for the forward price based on the stock price S, the risk-free rate r and the time to expiration T.
2. Columns N, O: Provide formulas for the future value (at expiration) value of the option premiums using the BlackScholes option prices C(K,T) and P(K,T), the risk free rate r and the time to expiration T.
Answer
1) Formula for Forward price:
F = S(1+r)T
Where,
F = Forward Price
S = Spot/stock price
r = Risk free rate
T = Time to expiration
OR
IF continuous compound rate of interest is used:
F = S*ert
Where,
F = Forward Price
S = Spot/stock price
r = Risk free rate
T = Time to expiration
e = Exponetial constant having standard value of 2.7183
2)
Call option price:
C(K,T) = S*N(d1)−Ke−rt *N(d2)
Where,
d1 = [ln St / K +(r+σ2v / 2) t]/ σs √t
d2 = d1 - σs √t
where:
C=Call option price
S=Current stock (or other underlying) price
K=Strike price
r=Risk-free interest rate
t=Time to maturity
N=A normal distribution
Put Option Price:
P(K,T) = Ke−rt *N(−d2) − S*N(−d1)
