How Does Increasing the Number of Steps in the Binomial Model Affect Its Accuracy?

Increasing the number of steps in the Binomial Model increases its accuracy. As the number of steps approaches infinity, the discrete-time Binomial Model converges to the continuous-time Black-Scholes model.

A higher number of steps provides a finer grid for the underlying price movement, allowing for a more precise determination of the optimal early exercise point.
