Jessica Lazarus has just been named the new CEO of BluBell Fitness Centers Inc. In addition to an annual salary of $375,000, her three-year contract states that her compensation will include 15,000 at-the-money European call options on the company’s stock that expire in three years. The current stock price is $34 per share, and the standard deviation of the returns on the firm’s stock is 74 percent. The company does not pay a dividend. Treasury bills that mature in three years yield a continuously compounded interest rate of 5 percent. Assume that Jessica’s annual salary payments occur at the end of the year and that these cash flows should be discounted at a rate of 9 percent. Using the Black–Scholes model to calculate the value of the stock options, determine the total value of the compensation package on the date the contract is signed.
