Answer:

The current value of the stock if the risk-free rate is 3 percent $78.29

Explanation:

stock value

= [(max.V - min.pr)/(max.V - exer.pr)*call price] + min.pr/(1+RFr)

=  [(max.V - min.pr)/(max.V - exer.pr)*stock price/number of contracts] + min.pr/(1+RFr)

= [(70 - 49)/(70 - 62)*1170/100] + 49/(1 + 3%)

= $78.29

Therefore, The current value of the stock if the risk-free rate is 3 percent $78.29
