We use spreadsheets to illustrate the concepts and techniques of arbitrage-free option pricing. We show how to implement both discrete (binomial) models and continuous (Black-Scholes) models, discuss similarities and differences in the required computational methods, and investigate issues of a practical nature, such as parameter estimation/uncertainty and effects of less-than-perfect hedging.
