What Is the Key Advantage of the Black-Scholes Model for European Options?

The key advantage of the Black-Scholes model for European options is that it provides a simple, closed-form analytical solution for the option's theoretical price. This makes it computationally fast and easy to implement.

The model's efficiency stems from the assumption that the option can only be exercised at a single, known point in time (expiration).
