Pricing American Option

sai kannekanti

Hi,

We are trying to calculate price of IBM European Call Option with discrete dividends. Here is the data:

Stock Price = 104.5

Strike Price = 100.00

Continuous Rate = 5.00%

Settlement Date = 7 June 2007 (today)

Expiry Date = 4 September 2007

Volatility = 16.362%

 

Dividend Amount = $0.4

Dividend Date = 4 September 2007 ( This date is same as expiration date)

 

The price which I calculated using AnalyticDividendEuropeanEngine is almost two cents lower then that calculated using AnalyticEuropeanEngine with strike price plus Dividend Amount. If I change didvidend to zero, I got the same price.

Any reasons?

Thanks,

Sai

Hi,
Could you please tell me  how to calculate zero rate given a yield curve ? What classes can we use in doing so?
