Question 1: An investor buys 4 ABC June 60 put for $0.5, sells 4 ABC June 65 put for $2, sells 4 ABC
June 70 put for $5, and at the same time buys 4 ABC June 75 put for $9. Suppose that the investor
holds options until the expiration.
a. Calculate the profit/loss of the strategy if the stock price at expiration is $78 per share?
b. Calculate the profit/loss of the strategy if the stock price at expiration is $ 67 per share?
c. Calculate the profit/loss of the strategy if the stock price at expiration is $ 55 per share?
d. Determine the breakeven price, maximum loss, and maximum profit at expiration. Show all yourcalculations?
e. Draw the payoff graph for the above strategy at expiration? Buy 60 put $0.5 Sell 65 put $2.0 Sell 70 put $5.0 Buy 75 put $9.0
