Answer:

$18.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of the call = Stock price - Present value of the strike (exercise price)

Stock price = $81

Present value of the strike=66

T-bills yield 5 percent.

$81 – $66/1.05

=$81-62.8571

= $18.14

Therefore tthe value of the call option if the exercise price is $66 per share will be $18.14
