Normal Distribution on 17BII
Message #1 Posted by Ray on 28 Sept 2004, 2:17 p.m.

I am looking to perform a normal distribution calculation in order to work out a Black Scholes calculation on my 17BII+ calculator. I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work. I have the formula working correctly in Excel, but can't figure out how to do the normal distribution part of the pricing formula.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Ray

      
There is already a black/scholes formula for the 17bii/17bii+

Black-Scholes on OLD HP 17BII+

Ray:

I have updated my site to include versions for the OLD 17BII+ without using L() and G() functions.

I gave up on those versions due to the HUGE sizes involved.

But they DO work.

Oops, forgot to include what Gene had already posted

I'm including these as a historical curiosities, since the updated 17BII+ will make these contortions irrelevant :-)
