Last updated May 9, 2003
Version: 1 | Requires: ColdFusion 5 | Library: FinancialLib
Description:
Returns the value of call and put options using the Black-Scholes pricing formula. S is the current asset price, X is the exercise price, r is the risk-free interest rate, T is the time to maturity of the option in years, v is annualized volatility. This code requires the cumulative normal distribution function CND().
Return Values:
Returns a number.

<CFSET S='49.25'>
<CFSET X='50.00'>
<CFSET T='0.1'>
<CFSET r='0.35'>
<CFSET v='0.30'>
