You are long both a call and a put on the same share of stock with the sameexercise date. The exercise price of the call is $40 and the exercise price of the put is$45. Plot the value of this combination as a function of the stock price on the exercisedate (draw a payoff diagram)
You see that three put options on a stock with strike prices of $55, $60, and $65 are $3, $5, and $8, respectively. You have the ability to use those options to create a butterfly spread.
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?
