An investor wants to construct a bull spread using put options with the same expiration dates. The investor needs to long the put with strike price K1 and short the put with strike price K2(> K1).

A bull put spread consists of two put options. First, an investor buys a put option and pays a premium. Next, the investor sells a put option at a higher strike price than the purchased put receiving a premium. Both options have the same expiration date.
The premium earned from selling the higher-strike put exceeds the price paid for the lower-strike put. The investor receives an account credit of the net difference of the premiums from the two put options at the onset of the trade.

An investor wants to construct a bear spread using two put options with the same expiration T. One put has the strike price of $20 and currently sells for $2. The other put has the strike price of $30 and currently sells for $7. Find the range of stock price on T that results in a positive profit for the investor.
3. Consider two European put options with the same expiration dates and the same strike prices. The underlying assets of the two options are different. One option is for stock A whose current price is $50 and has the volatility of 30%. The other is for stock B whose current price is $45 and has the volatility of 25%. Both stock A and B will pay no dividends. The price of put A is always higher than the price of...
When is it appropriate for an investor to purchase a butterfly spread? Suppose three put options on a stock have the same expiration date and strike prices of $65, $70, and $75. The market prices are $3.50, $6, and $7.50, respectively. Explain how a butterfly spread can be created. Construct a table showing the profit from the strategy. For what range of stock prices would the butterfly spread lead to a loss? When is it appropriate for an investor to...
To apply Bull Spread strategy, an investor buys for $3 a three-month call with a strike price of $30 and sells for $1 a three-month call with a strike price of $35. The payoff from this bull spread strategy is $5 if the stock price is above $35 and zero if it is below $30. Please consider the different stock prices at expiration date to conduct a profit analysis and draw profit diagram.
4. A speculator has a portfolio which is short in a European call with strike K1 and long in a European call with strike K2 . These two calls have the same maturity and underlying asset, but K1 > K2. Say the asset has value S(T) at maturity. This portfolio is called a bull spread. (a) Write an equation to describe the payoff at maturity of the bull spread. (b) For each of the three cases S(T) < K2 <...
