Abstract

Black-Scholes model is an option pricing formula derived under the assumption of no arbitrage,continuous stock price and following geometric Brown movement.Binomial tree pricing model is derived under the assumption of discrete stock price following binomial distribution.A method to prove the binomial approximation of Black-Scholes formula was purposed under specific assumption.This proof will provide an insight on the relationship of option pricing between discrete and continuous time model.
