c) Do these options grant him the right to go to infinity and beyond?

Answer:

e-rt 0.70
Stock Price 50
Exercise price 50
Risk free rate 0.07
time 5
standard deviation 0.3
Ln(S/k) 0
r+(Std. dev)^2/2 0.115
(r+(Std. dev)^2/2)*t 0.575
Ln(S/k)+(r+(Std. dev)^2/2)*t 0.575
Ln(S/k)+(r+(Std. dev)^2/2)*t/(std. dev^2*Sqrt(t)) 2.857198
N(d1) 0.997863
D2=D1-Std dev*Sqrt(t) 2.186378
N(d2) 0.985606
e-rt*N(d2) 0.694545
N(d1)-e-rt*N(d2) 0.303318
S*(N(d1)-e-rt*N(d2)) 15.16591
