b) S0= $45.70, K = $50, T = 3 months. Find the price of the call option with strike K expiring at time T by finding the replicating portfolio and B.

c) S0= $50, T = 3 months, Cup= the value of the call you got from part a), Cdn= the value of the call from part b). Price the call option at t = 0 using the replicating portfolio and B.
