 Solution

At expiry, the difference of a European call and put with matching strike is $(S_T-K{)}^{+}-(K-S_T{)}^{+}=S_T-K$. Linearity of pricing therefore makes their difference equal the forward-contract value from part (c):A direct put-call parity replication gives the same result. Buy one unit of the commodity and deposit $\delta {\int }_t^T{e}^{-r(u-t)}du$ in the bank. Withdraw the fixed cash storage payments from this reserve; the reserve is exhausted at expiry, leaving one commodity unit. Its initial cost is $S+\delta (1-e^{-r\tau })/r$. Borrow $K{e}^{-r\tau }$ as well, leaving terminal value $S_T-K$. The law of one price proves the parity identity. If $r=0$, replace the storage reserve by $\delta \tau$.
