#5 maybe? I kept getting -9.4% so I just rounded to -11%

Yep, got this. Did it first time and got 53 something which was close to 52.x. I re-did it, had some kind of typo, and got right on 57.4% after fixing my mistake.

Now that I think about it #11 was the exchange option with alpha and beta and #13 was the forward rate option. I put 0.119 and 81 on these two. What did you all get?

There was one on barrier options, the total payoff was 360 E. Barrier wasn't hit making payoff of that portion zero.
