I have this little project to do and i need a little help from you... (since you are an expert in this field!!) ok-- i need to figure out what the premium is on an aug on- peak call option for power. Now , I know that power is not what you do, but I can use some ideas on how to get started. Terms Strike price is $200/ MWH Forward curve for Aug is $125/MWH Aug 2001 Foward Volatility of 100% Valuation Date is June 8, 2001 Interest Rate is 6% On- Peak Call Option for 50 MW SO far, I have looked at some forcasts for Aug, and seen which hours the market rate is above 200 to come up with a premium value. I have an answer for this problem, but I was just curous as to see where you would start. Anything will work. Thanks!! Purvi P.S-- also, don't be hesitant to tell me that you have no clue--- You'll still be my favorite manager!!!
