Theoretical Price of European Call Option Using Black-Scholes Model

Very Hard Option Valuation Black-scholes Model

ABC Corporation is considering an investment in a European call option on its stock, which is currently trading at $50. The option has a strike price of $55, and it expires in six months. The risk-free interest rate is 4% per annum, and the standard deviation of the stock's returns is 20%.

Using the Black-Scholes Model, calculate the theoretical price of the call option. You need to apply the Black-Scholes formula:

C = S0N(d1) - Xe-rtN(d2)

where:

d1 = (ln(S0/X) + (r + σ2/2)t) / (σ√t)

d2 = d1 - σ√t

In this case, you'll need to calculate N(d1) and N(d2) based on the calculated values. Choose the correct theoretical price for the call option from the following options.
