After completing this unit, you should be able to: Value options using historical vol, moving average vol (MAV), exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH); calculate option model implied volatility surfaces -- time skew (. terms structure of volatility), and strike skew (Smiles and Smirks); understand what volatility surfaces reveal about option prices, volatility, and the models. | Financial Modeling Topic #13a: Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model, Implied Vols, and Volatility Estimation L.

Implied volatility is the standard deviation input that equates the BSM model option price to the market price. Start with volatility guess (say 10%), then run solver to equate market model prices 6 Calculating Implied Volatility The March, $615 Strike, call and put are selling for $ and $ (Average of Bid & Ask) respectively? Implied volatility is the standard deviation input that equates the BSM model option price to the market price.
