Black Scholes Volatility2 Apr 2022 22:01
I have been trying to understand the options settlement. 3,000,000 options with a strike price of 5p are valued at $200,000. This means each 2 year option is valued at 5p. To me this appears to be a relatively high valuation. I have no knowledge of how to value options but I have used Professor Google. I am guessing that volatility is what has driven a relatively high valuation
Does anyone know how volatility of an option is calculated (using Black Scholes)? What period does it get calculated over (a day, a year, 2 years?).
