Let's go through the problem step by step:

Given Information:

1. Index value at time t: $I_t = 1000$
2. Dividend yield, q: 4% or 0.04
3. Volatility, $\sigma$: 20% or 0.20
4. Risk-free interest rate, r: 5% or 0.05
5. Maturity of structured product, T: 6 months or 0.5 years
6. Payoff of structured product:
   $\text{Payoff} = \max(0, I_T - 1000, 0.75 \cdot I_T - 675)$
7. European CALL option: with strike price 900 and maturity in 6 months.

1. Compute the price of a European CALL option with strike price 900 and maturity in 6 months

We can compute the price of the European call option using the Black-Scholes formula, which requires the following inputs:

• $S_0$ = Initial stock price: 1000
• $K$ = Strike price: 900
• $T$ = Time to maturity: 0.5 years
• $\sigma$ = Volatility: 0.20
• $r$ = Risk-free interest rate: 0.05
• $q$ = Dividend yield: 0.04

Black-Scholes Call Option Price Formula:

$C = S_0 e^{-qT} \Phi(d_1) - K e^{-rT} \Phi(d_2)$ Where:

• $\Phi$ is the cumulative standard normal distribution function.
• $d_1$ and $d_2$ are calculated as follows:

$d_1 = \frac{\ln\left(\frac{S_0}{K}\right) + \left(r - q + \frac{\sigma^2}{2}\right) T}{\sigma \sqrt{T}}$ $d_2 = d_1 - \sigma \sqrt{T}$

Substitute the given values into the formula:

$d_1 = \frac{\ln\left(\frac{1000}{900}\right) + \left(0.05 - 0.04 + \frac{0.20^2}{2}\right) 0.5}{0.20 \sqrt{0.5}}$ $d_2 = d_1 - 0.20 \sqrt{0.5}$

Now we calculate the values for $d_1$ and $d_2$, and then use the normal distribution to find $\Phi(d_1)$ and $\Phi(d_2)$.

2. Compute the value of the structured product at time t

The payoff of the structured product is given by:

$\text{Payoff} = \max(0, I_T - 1000, 0.75 \cdot I_T - 675)$

The value of this product at time $t$ can be computed by taking the expectation of the payoff under the risk-neutral measure and discounting it to present value using the risk-free interest rate.

To price this structured product, we need to compute the expected value of the payoff at maturity $T$. This will involve calculating the probability distribution of $I_T$ under the risk-neutral measure, which typically follows a geometric Brownian motion:

$dI_t = (r - q) I_t dt + \sigma I_t dW_t$ Where $W_t$ is a Wiener process.

The key here is that the product involves two terms, $I_T - 1000$ and $0.75 \cdot I_T - 675$, which means we need to take the maximum of these two expressions. We'll find the expected values of each term separately, taking into account the distribution of $I_T$, and then discount the result to the present using the risk-free rate.
