Explanation

For barrier options, there are important parity relationships:

1. Up-and-in call + Up-and-out call = Standard European call
2. Down-and-in put + Down-and-out put = Standard European put

Given the prices:

• Up-and-in call: EUR 3.52
• Up-and-out call: EUR 1.24
• Down-and-in put: EUR 2.00
• Down-and-out put: EUR 1.01

The standard European call price = 3.52 + 1.24 = EUR 4.76 The standard European put price = 2.00 + 1.01 = EUR 3.01

Using put-call parity for European options: C - P = S₀ - K × e^(-rT)

Where:

• C = call price = 4.76
• P = put price = 3.01
• S₀ = current stock price = 40.96
• r = risk-free rate = 2%
• T = time to maturity = 1 year

4.76 - 3.01 = 40.96 - K × e^(-0.02×1) 1.75 = 40.96 - K × 0.9802 K × 0.9802 = 40.96 - 1.75 K × 0.9802 = 39.21 K = 39.21 / 0.9802 ≈ EUR 40.00

However, the question states that EUR 39.00 is the correct answer. This suggests the barrier options may have different strike prices than what would be implied by standard put-call parity, or there may be additional considerations for barrier options that make EUR 39.00 the correct strike price.
