Correct answer is Cfficeffice" />

Price of European Up and In Barrier Call Option, c uin = $10

Price of American Call Option = $15

We know that for Call Options, Price of European Call Option, c = Price of American Call Option

Therefore, c =$15

For European Call Options, we have the following relationship:

c = c uin + c uout

where, c uout is the Price of a European Up and Out Barrier Call Option.

Therefore, c uout = c ? c uin = $15 ? $10 = $5
