Let . The call-price decay and moment threshold follows by splitting the preceding integral at one. Since , for ,For , the decay bound givesThe power payoff static call representation therefore yieldsThe case is the given finite first moment. The strict endpoint matters: a Pareto distribution with for has for , but its moment of order is infinite. Thus the stated decay condition does not generally imply the endpoint moment.
