<t>I try to price a call option very out of money using the importance sampling method in Monte Carlo. My results are not what I was expecting but I can't find out the problem_ Here is the code in VBA:Function MCOptionValue5(S0, K, r, T, sigma, c, nsim) Dim rnmut, sum, sum1, S, F, W, W1, payoff1, pa...
