Answer:

correct option is $38.21

Explanation:

given data

stock price = $100

stock price =  either $160 or $60

interest rate = 6%

exercise price = $135

solution

we get here Hedge ratio that is express as

Hedge ratio = (Pay off in case price appreciates - Pay off in case price depreciates) ÷ (Appreciated price - Depreciated price)     ..................1

put here value we get

Hedge ratio = ( Max [$135 - $160, $0] - Max[$135 - $60, $0]) ÷ ($160 - $60)

Hedge ratio = [tex]\frac{$0 - $75}{$100}[/tex]

Hedge ratio = - 0.75

so here Price of Put option is

Price of Put option = -Hedge ratio × {Appreciated price ÷ (1 + risk free rate) - Present stock price}

Price of Put option =  -(-0.75)  × [tex]\frac{160}{1+0.06} - 100[/tex]

Price of Put option = $38.21

so here correct option is $38.21
