Explanation:
First, determine the overall delta of the portfolio:
Next, compute the dollar exposure of the position: Portfolio Exposure = 15,000 shares × USD 52/share = USD 780,000.
Then, convert the annual volatility to daily volatility: Daily volatility = 12% / √252 ≈ 0.007559.
Finally, calculate the 1-day 99% VaR using the standard normal deviate for 99% (Z ≈ 2.326): VaR = USD 780,000 × 0.007559 × 2.326 ≈ USD 13,715.
