This paper continues the research started in [J. Štěpán and P. Dostál: The d X ( t ) = X b ( X ) d t + X σ ( X ) d W equation and financial mathematics I. Kybernetika 39 (2003)]. Considering a stock price X ( t ) born by the above semilinear SDE with σ ( x , t ) = σ ˜ ( x ( t ) ) , we suggest two methods how to compute the price of a general option g ( X ( T ) ) . The first, a more universal one, is based on a Monte Carlo procedure while the second one provides explicit formulas. We in this case need an information on the two dimensional distributions of ( Y ( s ) , τ ( s ) ) for s 0 , where Y is the exponential of Wiener process and τ ( s ) = σ ˜ - 2 ( Y ( u ) ) d u . Both methods are compared for the European option and the special choice σ ˜ ( y ) = σ 2 I ( - , y 0 ] ( y ) + σ 1 I ( y 0 , ) ( y ) .
