The Black Scholes model estimates the value of a European call or put option by using the following parameters:
1_S = Stock Price_
2
3_K = Strike Price at Expiration_
4
5_r = Risk-free Interest Rate_
6
7_T = Time to Expiration_
8
9_sig = Volatility of the Underlying asset_
10Using R, we can write a function to compute the option price once we have the values of these 5 parameters. The BlackScholes function takes these parameters and returns the value of the call or put option.
