Initial margin requirement= 60000 x 15.29 x 10% X 2 cents + $ 1200
= $ 3,035
Loan from broker = 60000 x 15.29 x 2 cents x 90%
= $ 16,513
Margin call= 16,513/1-0.10= $ 18,347
Hence, price at which margin call will be recd= 18,347*100/(60,000*2)= 15.28 cents

Hence, time vlue of XYZ July 40 call = $ 3 and price is $ 8
Part II
Under Strategy A, the buyer of the option can buy share at a strike price of $ 40
