In this article some numerical results regarding the multidimensional extension of the Black–Scholes model introduced by Albeverio and Steblovskaya [1] (a multidimensional model with stochastic volatilities and correlations) are presented. The focus lies on aspects concerning the use of this model for the practice of financial derivatives. Two parameter estimation methods for the model using historical data from the market and an analysis of the corresponding numerical results are given. Practical advantages of pricing derivatives using this model compared to the original multidimensional Black–Scholes model are pointed out. In particular the prices of vanilla options and of implied volatility surfaces computed in the model are close to those observed on the market.

We present an asymptotic solution for call options on zero-coupon bonds, assuming a stochastic process for the price of the bond, rather than for interest rates in general. The stochastic process for the bond price incorporates dampening of the price return volatility based on the maturity of the bond. We derive the PDE in a similar way to Black and Scholes. Using a perturbation approach, we derive an asymptotic solution for the value of a call option. The result is interesting, as the leading order terms are equivalent to the Black–Scholes model and the additional next order terms provide an adjustment to Black–Scholes that results from the stochastic process for the price of the bond. In addition, based on the asymptotic solution, we derive delta, gamma, vega and theta solutions. We present some comparison values for the solution and the Greeks.

Currently, the market of financial instruments is quite developed. Traditional financial instruments prevail on the Russian market, while derivatives of these financial instruments (options, futures, forwards, bills, etc.) are faintly developed. The reason for this situation is that few participants in the financial market can correctly evaluate financial products. Scientific researchers and large companies use different methods of estimating the value of financial instruments in making strategic investment decisions, since incorrect calculations can be irreparable. Therefore, it is important to apply the appropriate pricing methodology to various derivative financial instruments. The topic of derivative financial instruments in terms of scientific and theoretical aspects has been worked out in sufficient volume, but as for the pricing of these instruments, there are some gaps. There is still no method for pricing derivatives that would allow you to accurately assess the value of financial instruments for subsequent effective investment decisions. In this article considers the methodology of pricing of derivative financial instruments using the Black-Scholes model and the Monte Carlo method. The presented estimation methods allow us to calculate the range of price values that allows us to provide the most accurate expected results.

Research has been conducted to compare the prices of European option on the Yahoo Finance website with prices obtained from the Black-Scholes model (theoretical price). Data was taken on January 31, 2019 which included the daily share price of Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) on February 14, 2018 - January 31, 2019 to obtain volatility, and NFLX options data due on January 17, 2020. Options with prices lower than theoretical prices are said to be underpriced, so the decision taken is to buy the options. Whereas options with prices higher than theoretical prices are said to be overpriced, so it has to be reconsidered. The proportion of the underpriced call options for the total number of call options is 77.7778%, while the proportion of the underpriced put options for the total number of put options is 38.5714%.
