    Pa = the current share price 1.2 billion
    Pe = the exercise price of the option 800 million
    r = the annual risk free rate of interest 5.5%
    t = the time (in years) until expiry of the option 10 years
    S = the share price volatility 52%
    D = Expected cost of delay (d) = 4.7%
    [n?(1200/800)+(0.055-0.047+ ?0.52?^2/2)(10)]/(0.52?10) = 1.0736
    My questions please Mr. Moffat is
    1. Why is there an expected cost of delay and will this be in the exam?
    2. Even if the delay is not asked, how is it that the answer is 1.0736 and not 1.117?

    There has never been an expected cost of delay in the exam, and I would not expect there to be one.

    As far as the calculation is concerned, I don’t know what they have done (and I am wondering where on earth you found this question!!) 🙂
