BSOPM assumes that the underlying stock can be traded continuously. BSOPM assumes that there are no transaction costs. There is only one input to the BSOPM that is not observable at the time you are valuing a stock option, and that input is volatility. Implied volatility is estimated by calculating the daily volatility of the underlying stock’s return that occurred over the prior six months.arrow_forward
