Service 1 (Valuation):
Calculate Option Fair Value
We will calculate fair value for your options as you grant them, using all of the factors that are stipulated by the FASB: the exercise price of the option, the expected term of the option, the current expected dividends on the underlying share, and the risk-free interest rate. We use several different option valuation models, such as the Nobel Prize winning Black Scholes option pricing model or lattice models, depending on the needs of the customer. Submit your option data to determine the fair value of your options. If these options were sold in an open market, "fair value" is the price that would be fair to both the buyer and the seller at the time of valuation. If you are granting options with different exercise prices and different expiration dates, you can find out the fair value for all of your option positions using this service.
