#### Problem Statement:
Consider a call option on the S&R index with 6 months to expiration and a strike price of $1000. Suppose that the effective rate compounded semiannually is 2% and the premium for this call is $93.81.
(a) Draw the payoff and profit graphs for the call option holder.
(b) If the S&R index price at expiration is $1100, will the owner exercise this option? What is the profit?
(c) If the S&R index price at expiration is $900, will the owner exercise this option? What is the profit?
#### Solutions:
**(a) Payoff and Profit Graphs:**
To draw the payoff and profit graphs, we need to follow these steps:
- **Payoff Graph:**
- The payoff of a call option at expiration is max(S - K, 0), where S represents the stock price at expiration and K is the strike price.
- For a strike price of $1000, the payoff graph will be zero for any stock price below $1000.
- For stock prices above $1000, the payoff increases linearly as the stock price increases.
- **Profit Graph:**
- The profit is the payoff minus the premium paid for the option.
- Payoff = max(S - K, 0)
- Profit = Payoff - Premium
- For this call option, the premium paid is $93.81.
- Therefore, the profit graph will start at -$93.81 for stock prices below $1000 (since the option is not exercised and the premium is lost).
- For stock prices above $1000, the profit will be max(S - K, 0) - 93.81, increasing linearly after crossing the premium breakeven point.
**(b) S&R Index Price at Expiration is $1100:**
- If the S&R index price at expiration is $1100, the payoff will be:
- Payoff = $1100 - $1000 = $100
- The profit will be:
- Profit = $100 - $93.81 = $6.19
- Therefore, the owner will exercise the option and the profit will be $6.19.
**(c) S&R Index Price at Expiration is $900:**
- If the S&R index price at expiration
