BLACK-SCHOLES OPTIONS VALUATION FACTOR TABLE AT $1 OF BOTH EXERCISE PRICE AND STOCK OPTION" provides you with a simple classic way to use Nobel prized "Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model" in valuing stock options granted at the market price. The basic assumption is that the stock options are granted at the market price, which is true for most companies, although some companies do grant options at premium or discount to the market price at the date of grant. This book gives the Valuation Factors (per share Black-Scholes value) of option, assuming both exercise price and stock price are $1, at different combinations of estimated dividend yield, expected life of options, risk free interest rate, and estimated volatility.

Determining the value of stock options with this book is similar to defining the present value of future payments by using a present value table at $1. Investors first find a Valuation Factor by matching their assumptions on risk-free interest rates (using Treasury STRIPS), estimated dividend yield, expected life of options and estimated volatility, and then multiply it by either the exercise price or the stock price followed by the number of shares. With this book, business professionals can easily prepare their FAS 123 pro-form disclosures on both their annual and interim reports as required by SEC.

This book provides straightforward and concise notes on some of the topics required for successful study of GCSE, IGCSE or SQA Standard Grade Mathematics. It is the first in what will be a short series of Large Print textbooks covering most of the topics in the above mentioned courses. The print size is generally 18-point or above.

Subjects dealt with in this book include Metric/Imperial Units, all aspects of Number Work, Fractions and Percentages. Exercises and Answers are included. Without detracting from the mathematical content, the author has attempted to explain the subject matter in a clear and readable way, providing annotated worked examples of answers to exam-level questions.

His tutoring experience has led the author to believe that the most effective way of teaching mathematics at the secondary level is to adopt a generally 'traditional' approach. Over-reliance on calculators together with attempts in some books to make maths 'cool' by the addition of comical graphics or cartoon characters, do tend (in his opinion) to be counterproductive. The 'traditional' approach has therefore been used in the writing of this book. The author makes no apology for emphasising the importance of knowing, for example, the Multiplication Tables or how to 'cancel-down' a fraction.

GCSE-Level Mathematics in Large Print: Book 1 could be used:

• as a class textbook, or to complement class work
• as a reference and revision guide in preparation for the exams.
