Answer : 19 and 31

Answer 1

1) Option price has two components Intrinsic value and Time value

Intrinsic value = The amount by which the strike price is In The Money.

For a call option, Intrinsic value = max(Spot price - Strike Price, 0)

Intrinsic value = max(28 - 30, 0) = max(-2, 0) = 0

Option price = Intrinsic value + Time value

2 and 1/2 = 0 + Time value

So, Time value = 2 and 1/2.
