What portfolio of calls (maturity T, any strike) and/or bonds (Zero Coupon Bond paying $1 at time T) will give you the desired payoff?
Group of answer choices
Sell $30 zero-coupon bonds, buy a call option with a strike price of $20, sell two call options with a strike of $40, and sell a call option with a strike price of $80
Buy $30 zero-coupon bonds, sell two call option with a strike price of $30, buy 2 call options with a strike of $40, and sell a call with a strike price of $80
It is not possible to construct this payoff with only calls and bonds
Sell $50 zero-coupon bonds, buy two call with the strike price of $80, buy two calls with a strike price of $40, and sell a call with a strike of $20
