  An asset price S follows the stochastic process dS =mSdt+sSdz
  (a) Apply Ito’s lemma to derive the process followed by G = S exp (r(T-t))
  where r is the risk- free rate and (T-t) is the time to maturity.
  (b) Interpret the derived stochastic process if G is a stock paying dividends at a
  continuous rate.
  (c) Define the stochastic process of G in the risk neutral world, assuming G is the
  spot foreign exchange rate.
  (d) Calculate the value of the call option using the applicable Black-Scholes formula
  for this call option on Japanese Yen.
