Call option price
A power option pays off [max(S₁ - X),01² at time T where ST is the stock price at time
T and X is the strike price. Consider the situation where X = 26 and T is one year. The
stock price is currently $24 and at the end of one year it will either $30 or $18. The
risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, compounded continuously. What is the risk-
neutral probability of the stock rising to $30?
