Would like some help on a question I have already solved , something just doesn't seem right with my values
So we are using the Black Scholes formula here and here are my variables and equations : For Australian Dollar, values are given as follows:
S =0.878 CAD/AUD
K=0.894 CAD/AUD
r=1.5%
t=1 year
\sigma =8.25%
d1=(ln(0.878/0.894)+(0.015+(0.0825^2/2)*1)/0.0825*1=0.0042
d2=0.0042-0.0825*1=-0.0783
N(d1)=0.0021
N(d2)=0.0196
Plugging all values in : C =0.878*0.0021-0.0196*0.894* e ^-0.015*1
Call option price premium for Australian Dollar =-0.0143 CAD
assumptions made:
-N(d1) and N(d2) should be values between 0 and 1 so we use the absolute value here to get a positive value
-For finding N(d1) we assume that we just use d1/2 to find that value
-for finding N(d2) we assume that we juse use d2/4 to find that value
We are looking for the call option price (premium),The final answer that i get is a negative value , which from my understanding a negative call option price is not possible , Im not looking for an easy answer ,Could someone give me hints and elaborate on what im possibly doing wrong in this equation? thanks you
