1. Black-Scholes Model Applied to Equities, suppose we are given the following information on an underlying stock and options: S = 60, X = 60, Rf = 2%, T = 0.25, dividend yield = 2%, = 45%. Assume we are examining European-style options. Three Questions:

B.) Which answer best describes how the BSM model is used to value a put option with the parameters given? a. The BSM model put value is the exercise price times N(d1) less the present value of the stock price times N(d2). b. The BSM model put value is the exercise price times e^-(div yield) (t)N(-d2) less the stock price times e^-(div yield) (t)N(-d2). c. The BSM model put value is the exercise price times e^-(Rf) (t)N(-d2) less the stock price times e^-(div yield) (t)N(-d1).
