Explanation / Answer

(a-1). Value of Call Option = Spot Price of underlying - PV of Exercised Price

= $80 - $64/(1+.043) = $18.64

(a-2). Intrinsic Value = Spot Price of underlying - Exercised Price

= $80 - $64 = $16

(b-1). Value of Call Option = Spot Price of underlying - PV of Exercised Price

= $80-$54/1.043 = $28.23

(b-2). Intrinsic Value = Spot Price of underlying - Exercised Price

= $80-$54 = $26

(c-1). Value of Put Option = PV of Exercised Price-Spot Price of underlying = $64/1.043 - $80

=$61.36 - $80 = -ve value i.e Zero

(c-2). Put Intrinsic Value = Exercised Price-Spot Price of underlying

= $64-$80 = -ve value i.e. Zero
