LOS c: Explain the assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes-Merton model and their limitations.

 

 

 

Which of the following is NOT one of the assumptions of the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model?

A)
There are no taxes and transactions costs are zero for options and arbitrage portfolios.
B)
The yield curve for risk-free assets is fixed over the term of the option.
C)
There are no cash flows over the term of the options.

Which of the following is least likely one of the assumptions of the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model?

A)
Changes in volatility are known and predictable.
B)
There are no cash flows on the underlying asset.
C)
The risk-free rate of interest is known and does not change over the term of the option.



The BSM model assumes that volatility is known and constant. The term predictable would allow for non-constant changes in volatility.
