Respuesta :

Answer:

B) $53.60

Explanation:

According to the Put-Call Parity, Put Price + Stock Price = Call Price + [Strike Price*e^-(r*t)]

$11.18 + Stock Price = $2.20 + [$65 * e^-(0.038 * 1)]

Stock Price = $2.20 + [$65 * 0.9627] - $11.18

Stock Price = $2.20 + $62.58 - $11.18

Stock Price = $53.60
