    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
