The fair value of options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table (all in weighted averages for options granted during the year):

 

     Year Ended September 30,  
     2019     2018     2017  

Risk-free interest rate(1)

     2.64     2.30     1.63

     4.50       4.50       4.50  

Expected volatility(3)

     17.8     15.0     16.2

Expected dividend yield(4)

     1.82     1.51     1.47

Fair value per option

   $ 9.13     $ 8.70     $ 7.62
