VBA
The formulas used for this spreadsheet were based on the call and put price functions by Simon Benninga
in his book Financial Modelling.

Troubleshooting
You will need to have Macros enabled for the calculations to work.
Follow the steps below to enable Macros:

Excel 97 - 2003
Go to Tools/Options
Click on the Security tab
Go to Macro Security
Change the setting to Medium
Close and reopen the workbook. It will ask you if you want to enable Macros, click Yes

Excel 2007
First, make sure that you can see the Developer tab
If there is no Developer tab, click on the Office icon to the top left of the application
and choose Excel Options, which is located at the bottom right of the popup.
Now click on Popular at the top left. Check the box titled "Show developer tab in the ribbon".

Now, click on the Developer tab.

Click on Macro Security.
Select "Disable all macros with notification" and press ok.
Close and reopen spreadsheet.
Now you should see a Security Warning appear in the toolbar
that reads "Macros have been disabled". Click on the options button.
Select "Enable this content" and press ok.

Basic
The worksheet labelled Basic is a simple option pricer.
Enter the pricing inputs into the white cells, C3 to C9.
The model will generate theoretical values for a call and put option.

PayoffGraphs
This table shows you the payoff profile for basic long/short call and put options.
You change the selection from the dropdown menu under the inputs table.
The P&L is calculated assuming the contract size of the option is 100.

OptionStrategies
The Strategies tab lets you enter combinations of option positions so you can view the payoff/risk graphs.
The underlying data is to be entered into the white cells in column P.
Enter the option/stock legs in columns B through to K.
For Type, just enter "c" for call options, "p" for put options and "s" for stock/futures position.
You don't need to enter a market price; you can use your own input volatility in row 9.
However, if you do enter a market price the sheet will calculate the Implied Volatility from those prices.
If you are going to do simulations on the date by using the Toggle arrows, then you will need to copy over
the implied vols into the model vols by using the CopyVols button.
