In this paper, we demonstrate how to collect the data and compute the actual value of Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model call option prices for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.The data for the current stock price and option price are taken from Yahoo Finance and the daily returns variance is computed from daily prices.The time to maturity is computed as the number of days remaining for the stock option.The risk-free rate is obtained from the U.S. Treasury website.

I examine the effects of return predictability on option prices for the market portfolio in the presence of stochastic volatility and/or stochastic interest rates. The analysis is implemented in an equilibrium framework where a consistent option pricing model is derived with the return predictability and stochastic volatility and the precise link between the actual and the risk neutral measures is endogenized. The equilibrium analysis indicates that the return predictability is induced by the mean-reverting and heteroskedastic features of aggregate dividends. It is shown that risk-neutral option pricing model with the stochastic volatility and/or stochastic interest rates can be consistent with return predictability. Numerical results suggest that (i) models with either perfect predictability or no predictability will significantly overprice long-term options across different strike prices when the return of the underlying exhibits modest predictability; (ii) the stochastic volatility does not affect option prices in a significant way when asset return predictability is properly reflected in the actual stock price process; (iii) when return predictability is correctly specified, the effects of stochastic interest rates are not uniform.

Advances in variance analysis permit the splitting of the total quadratic variation of a jump-diffusion process into upside and downside components. Recent studies establish that this decomposition enhances volatility predictions and highlight the upside/downside variance spread as a driver of the asymmetry in stock price distributions. To appraise the economic gain of this decomposition, we design a new and flexible option pricing model in which the underlying asset price exhibits distinct upside and downside semivariance dynamics driven by the model-free proxies of the variances. The new model outperforms common benchmarks, especially the alternative that splits the quadratic variation into diffusive and jump components.
