The scenario: Assume that today is May 3, 2017. You are asked to price hypothetical August 2017 options on Facebook (FB) stock. (Presently, only May, June, July, and September options exist.) The risk-free rate is 1.0% per year. Daily prices in Table 2 below are from Yahoo! Finance. (There are n days of prices, generating n-1 returns.)
Create an input range containing the following components:

Current stock price

Exercise price

Annualized stock volatility

Time to expiration

Risk-free rate

Create an interactive spreadsheet to price a call option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (BSOPM). Calculate the price of a FB August 150 call, and place your answer in cell G4. Make sure it’s interactive. Will rate if answer is correct.
