I am a bit puzzled by your figures.
The options are options on futures. The interest rate either goes up to 4.99%, in which case the futures price will be 94.55 on the exercise date (as shown in the workings for the futures).
Alternatively the interest rate goes down to 3.19% in which case the futures price will be 96.35 (again, as shown in the workings for the futures).
