Explanation of Solution
Price of six month European call option can be calculated by using the Black-Scholes equation as follow.
Table 1
| Stock price (S0) | 120 |
| Investment cost (K) | 150 |
| Volatility | 0.45 |
| Time to investment decision (T) | 0.5 |
| Risk free rate (r) | 0.06 |
| Dividend yield (w) | 0 |
| Call value | 6.97 |
| Put value | 32.53 |
| d1 | -0.447892596 |
| d2 | -0.766090647 |
| N(d1) | 0.327115356 |
