Options pricing

Ok guys, as I discussed in my previous post, I have priced the options value based on the information presented on this board using a Black-Scholes-Merton calculation.

I come up with a call option value of $1.42/share. See below for the calculation components, although most of you may get confused by it.

So that means the at 2/share, the investors are getting 1.92 ((2.5-2.0)+1.42) of upside. Basically a 96% sweetener. That is insane...

Here are my inputs:

S=Stock price in dollars and cents: 2.50
X=Strike price in dollars and cents: 2.40
T=Time to expiration in years: 5
R=Interest rate per annum as decimal percent: 0.05 is 5% per year
SIG=Volatility (Std Dev) in percent per annum: 0.6 is 60% per year (general market is usually .3 to .6 - I'll go aggressive on this since we know he stock to by highly volatile.)
