This function calculates the value of an option using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model on a dividend paying stock.

It also calculates a variety of other characteristics of the option. This function requires the user to supply the necessary inputs to the model. There is a companion function that labels the output. (BSDOPMTEXT). The function can be used as either an array function or a single cell function. If using it as an array formula highlight 11 cell (either column or row) click on the formula bar and type the formula, and then press Shift-Control-Enter. Excel will supply the brackets around the formula. If it is used as a single cell formula the user can enter an optional value which returns a particular value for the option. The companion formula BSOPTEXT behaves the same way. It returns a label for the output from the BSDOPM function and is provided for convenience in labeling the output.

Here are the inputs and form of the function:
=BSDOPM(S,E,T,STD,R,DIV,Optional Value,CC)
