8.1.3 BSM Plots and Surfaces
Make the following plots:
• Two subplot figures, one for call options with T=0.15 and s=0.20, and
one for put options with T=0.25 and s=0.20 that plot S against all
partial derivatives. Give titles and axis names.
• A 3D surface of the c
BSM
and p
BSM
versus the S/X and T (note that in
order to create a smooth surface you should create a dense mesh-
grid) for the ranges:

8.1.4 BSM Implied Volatility
The only unobservable parameter related with the BSM formula when we
deal with real world problems is the volatility measure, s (although as said
before it can be estimated via log-relative reruns of the underlying asset). It
is accustomed by options traders to observe a market value for a call or put
option and given the observed values of S, X, ?, r, and d, they derive the
value of s that equates the BSM estimate with the market quote. Such s
value is known as implied volatility. For instance, if c
mrk
is the market price of
a call option and S’, X’, T’, r’ and d’ are the observable parameters related
with the call option, then the BSM implied volatility, s
imp
, is that value of s
that minimizes the absolute error between c
mrk
and c
BSM
. Analytically this
problem is:
