Compute Black-Scholes price of an option
The Black_Scholes() function in the package qrmtools can be used to price European call and put options using the standard Black-Scholes options pricing formula for a non-dividend-paying stock.
In this exercise you will price in succession: an out-of-the-money European call, an in-the-money European call, an in-the-money European put and an out-of-the-money European put. An option is in-the-money if immediate exercise would result in a positive payout and out-of-the-money if it would not.
The main point of the exercise is to understand the different risk factors that go into the price calculation: the current stock price, the current volatility and the current interest rate.
