Suppose that a stock is currently trading at £ 38, and that the current prices for European call and put options on this stock with maturity T = 10 years and identical strike price K are equal to £30 and £35, respectively. Assuming that interest is compounded annually at rate 4%, determine the strike price to the nearest pence. Do not type in the pound sign.
