Please explain the answer or steps. Thank you.
Lower the strike price, higher is the call price. Because you get the right to buy the stock at a lower price, you must pay a higher price compared to the higher strike price option.
So, you get $9 for writing $55 call and pay $3 for buying $65 call. You collect a net premium of 9 - 3 = $6
The breakeven point is Strike price + Premium collected
Breakeven point = 55 + 6 = $61

For this problem, all options have the same expiration date. Assume 5 % effective interest rate until maturity. (a) We have two call options on the same stock. One has strike price 50 and premium 15. The other has strike price 55 and premium 10. Is there an arbitrage opportunity and why? If so, state the strategy that admits arbitrage and derive the formula of profit. (b) A call option and put option sell for $2. Is there an arbitrage...

Please kindly answer the questions (little boxes) five for each question completely, and clearly. thank you Strangles Strangles are very similar to straddles in many ways: they are composed of a combination of puts and calls, and for the long position, extreme moves in the price of the underlying are necessary for the position to be profitable, and profitability is not dependent upon direction (a sharp downward move can also be profitable). The major difference between the strangle and the...
