• B) By using the probabilities in the risk-neutral world we can price any derivative security - that is, any security whose payoff depends solely on the prices of other marketed assets.
• C) To ensure that all assets in the risk-neutral world have an expected return equal to the risk-free rate, relative to the true probabilities, the risk-neutral probabilities underweigh the bad states and overweigh the good states.
• D) In Monte Carlo simulation, the expected payoff of the derivative security is estimated by calculating its average payoff after simulating many random paths for the underlying stock price.
