The BVR/DVA 123R Compliance Calculator™, developed by Derivative Valuation Associates, LLC, offers significant value in that it uses linked databases to calculate the appropriate measure of expected volatility as well as forward looking risk-free rates, which is unlike other software products that simply ask for these inputs. This Compliance Calculator allows for the valuation of both public and non-public employee stock options utilizing the preferred binomial lattice option-pricing model for American-type call options.
