Two Factor Option Pricing Model

Whereas the traditional Black-Scholes model allows for one stochastic variable (volatility), a two-factor model used to evaluate a traditional equity option or, perhaps, an option embedded in a bond, also provides for a second stochastic variable-usually an interest rate. The final value of the security would be a function of both variables as well as the other inputs in the option valuation mechanism.
