Ten of the most well known large cap US companies were selected for valuation. Data were collected from National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations online website. Forty valuations were performed. Only five provided result close to the actual, rest thirty five were either undervalued or overvalued. Though Black-Scholes-Metron Model found better than Binomial Model, both the models were unable to provide any value for options that were out of money. Models could not not be utilized in options that had no intrinsic value. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/190 Governance issues and investment climate Gani, Mohammad Osman Examines the perception of 46 business leaders of Dhaka on investment climate through structured and unstructured questionnaires.
