    Bringing my question over here. Is anyone good at economics, specifically personnel economics? I'm having trouble determining the expected value of a call option and could use some help.

    Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin was living in it.

    It is actually. I have to determine the present value of a tuition scheme. The call option one has to do with the expected value of a stock compensation scheme for a ceo. I'm happy for help with either

    And then everybody looked at me

    Black-Scholes model is the basic model for European-style call options. You need to make an assumption about the variance though.

    What are your parameters?

    Black-Scholes model is the basic model for European-style call options. You need to make an assumption about the variance though.

    What are your parameters?

    So the CEO is being offered call $1 million dollars worth of call options with a strike price at $72 and a 1 year maturity and vesting rate. The stock has a 30% chance of being $42 at the end of the year, 10% of it being $35, a 30% chance of it being $60, a 20% chance of it being $74, and a 10% chance of it being $80. What is the value of each stock option?

    I tried to apply the expected value formula to it and got a negative number so I want to double check.

    The easier problem I have is determining the present value rate of 20,964 at a 2.8% annual rate in 25 years

    I know these problems aren't easy so any help is appreciated. I've been working on them for five hours.

    It seems like the EV for the stock would be $56.9 and you could only make money in 30% of scenarios. You probably just ignore negative values maybe, since you can just not exercise the option. So 13888.88 options, 20% $2 profit and 10% $8 profit so $16666.66?

    Ya idk this seems like something for @tyrannus unfortunately but he's not about that life anymore so I will try

    If you just do straight expected value you get $56.90 which yeah, gives you negative value for a strike price of $72 so we prob gotta think a bit harder

    So OK you're only exercising the option when it hits $74 or $80, otherwise you just don't buy right

    So 0.7*0 + 0.2*2 + 0.1*8 = $1.20 per stock expected value

    And then I guess you multiply by $1,000,000 / $72 per stock and get a total expected value of $16,667

    Oh god, thank you. These are the same values I got but I haven't been doing well in the class so I really doubted myself. I should have just taken macroeconomics.

    Thank you everyone! Your explanations have been really helpful.

    We live in a society that celebrates more temporary accomplishments. The Kardashians, sports team victories, marvel movies. The only wonder we can create anymore is a fleeting feeling of joy before the inevitable crush of disappointment.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
