I got an American put option, where the payoff is Vτ=max(KXτ,0)V_\tau = \max(K - X_{\tau}, 0) and XτX_{\tau} is the price of an underlying at the stopping time τ<T\tau < T . The underlying follows a standard GBM with r=q=0r = q = 0 ; X0X_0 is given. I need to calculate the expectation E[V]E[V] under the assumption that τ\tau has exponential distribution with intensity λ=0.025\lambda = 0.025 . I tried transforming this equation into: 0(KX0e12σ2τ+στZ)+λeλτdτ\int_0^\infty (K - X_0e^{-\frac{1}{2}\sigma^2 \tau + \sigma \sqrt{\tau}Z})^+\lambda e^{-\lambda \tau}d\tau but then I'm just completely lost with how to proceed with the square root. I know that by definition E[τ]=1λE[\tau] = \frac{1}{\lambda} but can I use this as an answer? As in, can I claim that: E[V]=V(X1λ,1λ) ?E[V] = V\left(X_{\frac{1}{\lambda}}, \frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \text{ ?}
