\title{The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Formula}
\author{CPF Program}

\section{Introduction}
The Black-Scholes model, developed by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes in 1973, provides a theoretical estimate of the price of European-style options. This model assumes that the price of the underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility.

\section{The Black-Scholes Formula}
The Black-Scholes formula calculates the price of a European call option. The formula is given by:

\begin{equation}
C = S_0 N(d_1) - K e^{-rT} N(d_2)
\end{equation}

where:
\begin{align*}
d_1 &= \frac{\ln(S_0 / K) + (r + \sigma^2 / 2)T}{\sigma \sqrt{T}}, \\
d_2 &= d_1 - \sigma \sqrt{T}.
\end{align*}

Here,
\begin{itemize}
    \item \( C \) is the price of the call option,
    \item \( S_0 \) is the current price of the underlying asset,
    \item \( K \) is the strike price,
    \item \( T \) is the time to expiration,
    \item \( r \) is the risk-free interest rate,
    \item \( \sigma \) is the volatility of the underlying asset,
    \item \( N(\cdot) \) is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution.
\end{itemize}

\section{Derivation}
The derivation of the Black-Scholes formula involves stochastic calculus and the application of Ito's Lemma. The key assumptions include:
\begin{itemize}
    \item The underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion.
    \item Markets are frictionless (no transaction costs or taxes).
    \item There are no arbitrage opportunities.
    \item The risk-free rate and volatility are constant over the option's life.
\end{itemize}

\section{Conclusion}
The Black-Scholes model is a fundamental tool in financial economics, providing insights into the pricing of options and the management of financial risk. Despite its assumptions, it forms the basis for more advanced models and real-world applications.

	\title{The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Formula}
	\author{CPF Program}
	\date{\today}

	\begin{document}
	\maketitle

	\section{Introduction}
	The Black-Scholes model, developed by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes in 1973, provides a theoretical estimate of the price of European-style options. This model assumes that the price of the underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility.

	\section{The Black-Scholes Formula}
	The Black-Scholes formula calculates the price of a European call option. The formula is given by:

	\begin{equation}
	C = S_0 N(d_1) - K e^{-rT} N(d_2)
	\end{equation}

	where:
	\begin{align*}
	d_1 &= \frac{\ln(S_0 / K) + (r + \sigma^2 / 2)T}{\sigma \sqrt{T}}, \\
	d_2 &= d_1 - \sigma \sqrt{T}.
	\end{align*}

	Here,
	\begin{itemize}
	\item \( C \) is the price of the call option,
	\item \( S_0 \) is the current price of the underlying asset,
	\item \( K \) is the strike price,
	\item \( T \) is the time to expiration,
	\item \( r \) is the risk-free interest rate,
	\item \( \sigma \) is the volatility of the underlying asset,
	\item \( N(\cdot) \) is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution.
	\end{itemize}

	\section{Derivation}
	The derivation of the Black-Scholes formula involves stochastic calculus and the application of Ito's Lemma. The key assumptions include:
	\begin{itemize}
	\item The underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion.
	\item Markets are frictionless (no transaction costs or taxes).
	\item There are no arbitrage opportunities.
	\item The risk-free rate and volatility are constant over the option's life.
	\end{itemize}

	\section{Conclusion}
	The Black-Scholes model is a fundamental tool in financial economics, providing insights into the pricing of options and the management of financial risk. Despite its assumptions, it forms the basis for more advanced models and real-world applications.
