Assume that the interest rate is 5%, continuously compounded annually, and consider
call and put options of both American and European style expiring in 6 months on

(i) The strike price of a European put option is $3 and the option is traded at $4.
(ii) The shares are traded at $3 and the American call option is traded at $3.20
