A share of ARB stock sells for $75 and has a standard deviation of return equal to 20% per year. The current risk-free rate is 9% and the stock pays two dividends: 1) a $2 dividend just prior to the option's expiration day, which is 91 days from now (one quarter of a year) and 2) a $2 dividend 182 days from now.
A) Calculate the Black-Scholes value for a European-style call option with an exercise price of $70.
The dividend that is received after the expiration date does not influence the price of the option.
Present value of dividends is subtracted from the current stock price before using the Black Scholes equation
risk free interest rate= 9%
Present Value of dividend= $2.00 received 91 days = 0.25 years from now
is equal to $1.9555 =2x e ^ (-0.09 x 0.25)
Current stock price= $75.00
Therefore, adjusted stock price= $73.0445 =75-1.9555
We will use Black Scholes Pricing Formula
Value of call= S N(d1) - X * e -r(T-t) * ...
