Ito lemma (equation 2): Where Vs = first derivative of [equation 1] Vt is the first derivative with respect to time of [equation 1] Vss is the second derivative of [equation 1] I thought that the first derivative is: e^(2/5)s and the second one is zero. But I did not take the time component into account since I don't know how do that. At last, one has to substitute the S in equation 2 (ito lemma) with the inverse of V = S^(1/1)e^(0.4)*(1-t) (equation 1). I also don't know what the inverse is and how to substitute. Could someone please help me? I would like to know how to take the derivatives of the first and second order and with respect to time and how to substitute the inverse of equation 1 into equation 2 to replace S? I would be very thankful!!

S^1/1 --> will be just S in this case.
Regarding my original question, valuing a derivative means a contract based on the price of a stock e.g. call option. The other 'derivatives' are derivatives in math (1st and 2nd order).
