You believe that PEP price will only vary slightly in the coming days and therefore you decide to follow a Butterfly strategy using three call options with strikes 116, 127 and 138, which have premiums of 18, 17, and 13, respectively. If the stock price is 164 today, what is the total profit of your portfolio. Keep in mind that each call option contract controls 100 shares. Please round your answer to the nearest three decimals.

An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
You strongly believe that the price of Breener Inc. stock will rise substantially from its current level of $137, and you are considering buying shares in the company. You currently have $13,700 to invest. As an alternative to purchasing the stock itself, you are also considering buying call options on Breener stock that expire in three months and have an exercise price of $140. These call options cost $10 each. a. Compare and contrast the size of the potential payoff and the risk involved in each of these alternatives. b. Calculate the three-month rate of return on both strategies assuming that at the option expiration date Breener's stock price has (1) increased to $155 or (2) decreased to $135. c. At what stock price level will the person who sells you the Breener call option break even? Can you determine the maximum loss that the call option seller may suffer, assuming that he does not already own Breener stock?

Consider a certain butterfly spread on American International Group stock (AIG): this is a portfolio that is long one call at $50, long one call at $70, and short 2 calls at $60. Assume expiration of all options s at the same timet=T. (@) Graph the payoff of this portfolio at expiration T as a function of the stock price ST of AIG. (b) If today the calls cost $13.10, $5.00, and $1.00 for the strikes at 50, 60, and 70, respectively, what will be the profit or loss (PnL) from buying this spread if the stock turns out to be trading at S5 at time T2 at $35? Assume the risk-free rate is 0%,

I’m wanting to buy a call option. I have the prices of 13 calls and the strike prices & the volatility of the stock. The stocks current price is $96.60 but I believe it’s going to rise to $105 by December when the call expires. How would I go about analysing and deciding which option is the best to buy? Do I just look at the potential pay off of each one & how do I factor the volatility into that. Strike prices are between $92 & $106 but each have a different call price.
You are thinking of buying a stock priced at $100 per share. Assume that the risk-free rate is about 4.5% and the market risk premium is 6%.
