Hello,
This little example seems to demonstrate that the current price and
strike price inputs of financial deriviative functions can be
functions of a r.v. Have I interpreted this correctly? (What this is
driving at is using the financial derivative functions for real
options.)
npv[x_]:=5*x-20
(*x means price, a r.v.*)
FinancialDerivative[{"American","Call"},{"StrikePrice"->5,"Expiration"-
>5},{"InterestRate"->0.01,"Volatility"->0.1,"CurrentPrice"-
>5,"Dividend"->0.01}]
0.42803
