Abstract

This paper presents binomial model for pricing vanilla options. Binomial model can be used to accurately price American style options than the Black-Scholes model as it takes into consideration the possibilities of early exercise and other factors like dividends. The strength and weakness of this model were considered. This model is both computationally efficient and accurate but not adequate to deal with path dependent options.
