Hi, I have few queries regarding suggested answers of SFM Nov 2012 given released by ICAI. I appeared for Nov 2012 exam and failed in SFM paper. Below are the queries which I need to ask

first query

Ans 1(d)(iii)  
Rate of premium

=(57.13-55.5)/55.5*100=2.93

I have calculated it for six month whereas ICAI calculated it annually i.e suggested answer is =2.93*2= 5.87

second query

I solved the 3(a)iii question as below

Ans 3(a)(iii)

Expected value of call option=160.5-150=10.5

Suggested answer is

 

Expected price Value of call Probability Call Option
120 0 0.05 0
140 0 0.2 0
160 10 0.5 5
180 30 0.1 3
190 40 0.15 6
      14

Though as per guideline answer by shrigurukirpa site shows alternative answer as per mine i.e 10.5

I want to ask whether solution given by me is right or not. Pleas help
