    hello sir, i wanted to know whether the black scholes model can be used to value equity of a company that is being acquired and therefore can it be another method apart from P/E ratio etc to value a company

    Yes – it can be used to value equity (although the examiner will specify if he wants this approach) 🙂

    Hi John,

    I am having trouble with this equation. I have a big weakness when it comes to these equations as I am always unsure of brackets and the order of input into the calculator.

    0.6664 * 23.13 – 0.4443 * 24 * E(2.71828) ^ – 0.06 * 2

    I get 4.67, however the Kaplan study text gets 5.95

    Is this a mistake on Kaplan’s part?

    Thank you

    It comes to:

    15.4138 – 0.4443 x 24 x 0.88692

    = 15.4138 – 9.4574 = 5.956

    (You should have a calculator with an ‘e^x’ button on it, and it is easier if you use that 🙂 )
