Abstract :
Derivatives trading are a core part of the Stock Market in the current era. Trading volumes in stock options have grown up tremendously during recent years. Black-Scholes is a pricing model used to determine the fair price or theoretical value for a European call or a put option. The objective of this paper is to price the derivatives by incorporating volatility which is assumed to be constant in the Black-Scholes model. We observe through a case study that we can price the options better by change in volatility due to change in stock price.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Black-Scholes model, European call &put option, volatility
