    Sir what is the relationship between N(d1) and N(-d1)?

    I ask because in Marengo Dec 2010,they have asked you to assume delta is N(-d1)

    When I use the Black scholes formula I find d1 = -0.0552 use the distribution table and SUBTRACT 0.5 from my distritubution table answer.

    However I see the answer that what they did was

    d1=-0.0552
    And then
    -d1= 0.0552 (Note the sign change)
    And because of this they now ADD the 0.5 from the distribution table..

    Why have they swapped the negative sign around..this is crucial because it determines wether to add or subtract that 0.5 distribution table answer.

    D1 = – 0.0552

    So….- D1 = – – 0.0552 = + 0.0552

    (two minus’s become a plus 🙂 )
