Summary Introduction

Introduction: A call option is an option where a buyer has a right to purchase an asset for a specified price, on or before specified expiry date. It only gives buyers the right to buy but not the obligation to buy a particular asset. The price of an underlying asset at which it can be bought and sold by the option holder is known as strike price. Put option is the option that gives the holder the right to sell an underlying asset at a specified price on or before the expiry date.

To identify: Profit of an investor in each scenario who buys a call and put option with the maturity of six month.
