P = current asset price.
r% = risk-free rate (continuous, per time unit).
s% = volatility (continuous, per time unit).
T = term of option (same time unit as r% and s%).
X = exercise price of option.
N(z) = probability that a unit normal random variable is less than z.
Call Value = P × N(d

L = asset’s useful life expectancy.
SBV = starting book value.
SAL = salvage value.
