Suppose you hold LLL employee stock options representing options to buy 10,400 shares of LLL stock. LLL accountants estimated the value of these options using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula and the following assumptions:

S = current stock price = $24.67

K = option strike price = $25

r = risk-free interest rate = .042

σ = stock volatility = .32

T = time to expiration = 3.5 years
