An investor buys a 6-month European call option with an exercise price of $35 for $6, and sells a 6-month European call option with an exercise price of $40 for $4. a) What kind of a spread does this strategy create? Answer in terms of “Bull Spread” versus “Bear Spread”. b) Calculate both the total payoff and profit on this strategy at the expiration of the options. Please use a Table (as in the class notes) to identify the payoff and profit.

A trader buys a six-month European call option and sells a six-month European put option. The options have the same underlying asset and the same strike price K. Can you identify a forward contract that has the same payoff as the trader’s combined options position? Under what circumstances does the price of the call equal the price of the put? (HINT: In answering these questions you may find it helpful to draw charts of the payoffs or profits of the two positions.)
In a binomial model, a call option and a put option are both written on the same stock. The exercise price of the call option is 30 and the exercise price of the put option is 40. The call option’s payoffs are 0 and 5 and the put option’s payoffs are 20 and 5. The price of the call is 2.25 and the price of the put is 12.25. a. What is the riskless interest rate? Assume that the basic period is one year. b. What is the price of the stock today?
Rebecca is interested in purchasing an European call on a hot new stock, Up, Inc. The call has a strike price of $100 and expires in 90 days . The current price of Up stock is $120, and the stock has a standard deviation of 40% per year. The risk-free interest rate is 6.18% per year. a). Using the Black - Scholes formula , compute the price of the call b). Use put-call parity to compute the price of the put with the same strike and expiration date
Suppose there is also a 1-year European put option on the same stock as in Question 3 with exercise price $30. The current stock price is also $25 and the stock price, in 1 year, will be either $35 (up by 40%) or $20 (down by 20%). The interest rate is 8%. This stock does not pay dividend. What is the value of the put option? Please use risk neutral probability method and assume discrete discounting. (2) What is put-call parity in option pricing? What needs to be true in order for put-call parity to hold?
You bought (that is, you are “long”) both a put option and a call option on Strockfoot stock with the same expiration date. The exercise price of the call option is $40 and the exercise price of the put option is $30. Carefully graph the payoff of the combination of options at expiration.

Suppose you construct a strategy based on options on a stock that is currently selling for $100. The strategy is as follows: Buy one call option having an exercise price of $95. Sell two calls having an exercise price of $100. Buy one call option having an exercise price of $105. All of the options are written on the same stock and all have the same expiration date. Compute the payoff (the dollars you receive) from this strategy at the expiration date for each of the following alternative stocks prices: $90, $95, $98, $100, $102, $105, and $110. What additional information would be required to determine whether your strategy had been profitable? What is the name of this strategy?
You are considering a European put option and a European call option on ABC Ltd and have available the following information.

The underlying asset price is $15. The risk-free rate is 2% per 60 days. Could an arbitrage profit be earned? If so, how much the arbitrage profit is? Show your works (Hint: use discrete put-call parity equation and consider two scenarios for stock price at maturity of the options: $10 or $20).
