BINOMIAL ASSET PRICING

Annotation

In this project, I study the binomial asset pricing model and its application in derivative asset pricing. Specifically, using central limit theorem, I summarize the connection of the binomial asset pricing model and the famous Black Scholes asset pricing model. The computer simulation is conducted to prove the theoretical result. Additionally, I practiced the derivation of the Black Scholes option formula and employed it on Apple’s call option pricing. The formula price is in great consistent to the option price observed in reality.
