Details |
The GARKHCLPRC function calculates the call prices for European options on stocks, based on the Garman-Kohlhagen model. The function is based on the following relationship:
where
S |
specifies the spot currency price. |
N |
specifies the cumulative normal density function. |
E |
specifies the exercise price of the option. |
t |
specifies the time to expiration. |
Rd |
specifies the risk-free domestic interest rate for period t. |
Rf |
specifies the risk-free foreign interest rate for period t. |
where
specifies the volatility of the underlying asset. | |
specifies the variance of the rate of return. |
For the special case of t=0, the following equation is true:
