Excellent explanation @ShaktiRathore . It is clear to me now.
I checked the mean of a log-normal distribution is mu+sigma^2/2 (ref:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution and http://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/lognstat.html?refresh=true) but I get the idea now.
I am done with...
Hi @David Harper CFA FRM
I have a decent idea about the intuition as to why N(-d2) is the PD. I am able to understand the intuiton behind ln(V(0)/k) and adding drift to calculate the distance.
I understand this as follows: We calculate how many standard deviations would the expected value...

Thanks
