| Abstract: | An application of the arbitrage pricing theory to option pricing, based on the assumption there is one common factor, when the underlying asset of an option is the sole risk factor, which explains its expected return. Based on this relationship, a new and simple option pricing formula is obtained and some existing option pricing formulae are reproduced. The authors stress that the empirical results show the new formula performs as well as the Black-Scholes formula. |
