The firms debt consists of 1-year, zero coupon bonds with a face value of 2 million. Lius volatility, , is 0.60, and the risk-free rate rRF is 6%. Because Lius debt is risky, its equity is like a call option and can be valued with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (OPM). (See Chapter 8 for details of the OPM.)
