If d1=1.998
then N(d1)=0.5+0.4767=.9767
But in BPP text material it is written as
N(d1)=.5+.4767+82/100(.4772-.4767)
my question is why is that so and what is the reason behind using the 82/100 fraction? and is it possible to round the figure 1.998 as 2.
Thankyou.It is because N(d1) is to 4 decimal places, but you can only look up in the tables for 2 decimal places. So they have approximated between the table figures for 1.99 and 2.00.
However, if you round to 2 decimal places (and therefore use 2.00 here) then you will still get the marks. (If you have copied the figures correctly, then they should not have used 82/100 but 92/100, but I have not got the BPP Study Text and so I cannot check 🙂 )
