is a non-missing, positive value that specifies the price of the first asset.
Requirement: | Specify X1 and X2 in the same units. |
is a non-missing value that specifies the time to expiration.
is a non-missing, positive value that specifies the price of the second asset.
Requirement: | Specify X2 and X1 in the same units. |
is a non-missing, positive fraction that specifies the volatility of the first asset.
Requirement: | sigma1 must be for the same time period as the unit of t. |
is a non-missing, positive fraction that specifies the volatility of the second asset.
Requirement: | Specify a value for sigma2 for the same time period as the unit of t. |

Details |
The MARGRPTPRC function calculates the put price for European options on stocks, based on the Margrabe model. The function is based on the following relationship:
where
X1 |
specifies the price of the first asset. |
X2 |
specifies the price of the second asset. |
N |
specifies the cumulative normal density function. |
where
t |
is a non-missing value that specifies the time to expiration. |
specifies the variance of the first asset. | |
specifies the variance of the second asset. | |
specifies the volatility of the first asset. | |
specifies the volatility of the second asset. | |
specifies the correlation between the first and second assets. |
To view the corresponding CALL relationship, see the MARGRCLPRC Function.
For the special case of t=0, the following equation is true:
Note: This function assumes that there are no dividends from the two assets.
