Actual examples and applications of the Black-Scholes model include:

• Options Pricing and Trading: The model provides a theoretical fair price for European call and put options, widely used by traders and institutions to price and hedge options contracts, such as on stocks or indices.
• Delta Hedging: Traders use the model's Greeks (sensitivities) like Delta to dynamically hedge option positions, adjusting holdings in the underlying asset to remain neutral to small price changes.
• Risk Management in Investment Banks: Banks use Black-Scholes to price derivatives, manage portfolio risk, and comply with regulatory requirements by quantifying option-related risks.
• Real Options Analysis in Corporate Finance: The model helps value real investment opportunities (e.g., project expansion, abandonment) as options, guiding strategic decisions under uncertainty.
• Employee Stock Options Valuation: Companies use the model to value stock options granted to employees as part of compensation packages.
• Formalization of Options Markets: The model's introduction led to the creation of standardized options exchanges (e.g., Chicago Board Options Exchange) and a more efficient, liquid options market.

This demonstration highlights how cloud computing can be used to efficiently calculate the theoretical price of European call options using the Black-Scholes formula, providing a practical application of financial modeling in a scalable environment.
