yly14 calculation for pi is the same for put or call. "d" accounts for the decrease in stock price, not the amount in-the-money of call or put.
AusPhD 3.33 + 60/1.05 - 55 = Put price
jd2442424 Can also use:
n = (p_ - p+) / (S+ - S_)
PV(TV) = (n * s+ - p+ * 0) / (1 + r)^t
p0 = PV(TV) - so * n
This would be easier if the 62.3 used n correctly.
RAMOST Put call parity is the fastest way
