    Answer: $17.71

    Explanation:

    Calculation of delta = (90 - 74) + (75 - 74) / 90 - 75

    = 16 + 1 / 15

    = 1.13

    Calculation of futurevalue of portfolio = (90 * 1.13) - 16 = 85.7

    Present value of portfolio = 85.7 / 1.03 = 83.20

    Present value of delta share = 74 * 1.13 = 65.49

    Value paid by call holder = 83.20 - 65.49 = 17.7
