In two cases of paying intermediate divisends and no intermediate dividends, the Black_Scholes model is generalized to the case where the risk_less asset (bond or bank account) earns a time_dependent interest rate and risk asset (stock) has time_dependent the continuously compounding expected rate of return, volatility. In these cases the accurate pricing formula and put_call parity of European option are obtained. The general approach of option pricing is given for the general Black_Scholes of the risk asset (stock) has the continuously compounding expected rate of return, volatility. The accurate pricing formula and put_call parity of European option on a stock whose price process is driven by general Ornstein_Uhlenback (O_U) process are given by actuarial approach.展开更多
