Consider two European call options on the same underlying stock. The options have the same strike price. Assume constant interest rates. One option matures in one year; the other option matures in four years. Suppose that you put into the Black- Scholes formula to value the one- year option. What value of do you put into the Black- Scholes formula to value the four- year option?

波动率按时间平方根缩放:
所以
