Valuation
Before you can determine how much expense to take with respect to your non- cash equity compensation, you need to value the stock option grant.
The fair value of the stock option is most commonly determined for privately-held companies using the Black-Scholes formula. The formula has a number of variables, which are described in this section.
Black-Scholes formula
A mathematical formula used for valuing employee stock options.
C = Se-qTN(d1) - Ke-rTN(d2 )
d1 =
ln(S0 / K) + (r - 8 + 2 / 2)T T
