All values other than Black-Scholes were computed by means of Formula 1 with the following inputs:   , , , , , , , , , , , , and .
The “constant interest rate” setting is defined by taking an interest rate equal to 3%.
The “stochastic interest rate” setting is defined by taking , , , , and .
The “low intensity jumps” setting is defined by taking , , and .
The “high intensity jumps” setting is defined by taking , , and .
