Given the following data, show the profit from a strategy involving a straddle for the put, call and combined position. The price of a European call and put option are $5 and $6 respectively. Both of the options have a strike price of $30. Explain why a trader might be willing to enter into a straddle. Please show all work. Please use four decimal places for all calculations.
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.)
You are considering a European put option and a European call option on ABC Ltd and have available the following information. The put option with an exercise price of $15 and time to maturity of 60 days is priced at $2.00. The call option with the same exercise price and time to maturity is priced at $3.00. 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).
A trader wants to form a position by combining two different European calls and two different European puts. The calls have the same expiration dates but have different strike prices. The trader sells one call with strike price of £48 at a price of £1.50, and buys one call with strike price of £50 at £1.00. He buys one put at a strike price of £48 at £0.50 and sells one put at a strike price of £50 at £2.50. Demonstrate how to graph the profits from this spread strategy by first producing a profits table, and then sketching the graph.

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.
Consider a one-period binomial model in which the underlying is at 65 Euros, and can go up 30% or down 22% each period. The risk-free rate is 8%. Determine the price of a European put option with exercise price of 70. Assume that the put is selling for 9 Euros. Demonstrate how to execute an arbitrage transaction and calculate the rate of return. Use 10000 puts.
Suppose that a European call option to buy a share for $100.00 costs $5.00 and is held untilmaturity. Under what circumstances will the holder of the option make a profit? Underwhat circumstances will the option be exercised? Draw a diagram illustrating how the profitfrom a long position in the option depends on the stock price at maturity of the option. Suppose that a European put option to sell a share for $60 costs $8 and is held untilmaturity. Under what circumstances will the seller of the option (the party with the shortposition) make a profit? Under what circumstances will the option be exercised? Draw adiagram illustrating how the profit from a short position in the option depends on thestock price at maturity of the option.

Using put-call parity formula, derive expressions for the lower bounds for European call and put options. What is a lower bound for the price of (i) a three-month call option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is R860, the strike price is R760, and the risk-free interest rate is 10% per annum? (ii) a three-month European put option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is R500, the strike price is R610, and the discrete risk-free interest rate is 9% per annum?
