Three call options on a stock have the same expiration date and strike prices of $55, $60, and
$65. The market prices are $8, $5, and $3, respectively. Explain how a butterfly spread can be

would the butterfly spread lead to a loss?
Suppose that put options on a stock with strike prices $18 and $20 cost $2 and $3.50, respectively. How can the options be used to create a bull spread? Construct atable that shows the profit and payoff for the spread.

These three options have the following market prices $6, $3, and $1, and strike prices $40, $35, and $30, respectively. Construct a butterfly spread and show the relevant profits and losses.

- A stock price is currently $23. A reverse butterfly spread (le. options are sold with strike prices of K, and K. and two options with the middle strike price K₂ are purchased) is created from call options with strike prices of $20, $25, and $30. Which of the following is TRUE? Select one alternative: O The gain when the stock price is greater than $30 is greater than the gain when the stock price is less than $20. O The gain when the stock price is greater than $30 is the same as the gain when the stock price is less than $20. O It is incorrect to assume that there is always a gain when the stock price is greater than $30 or less than $20. O The gain when the stock price is greater than $30 is less than the gain when the stock price is less than $20.arrow_forwardFor the next question, consider the two stocks, A and B, in the following table.

- Both call and put options are affected by the following five factors: the exercise price, the underlying stock price, the time to expiration, the stock’s standard deviation, and the risk-free rate. However, the direction of the effects on call and put options could be different. Use the following table to identify whether each statement describes put options or call options. Statement Put Option Call Option 1. When the exercise price increases, option prices increase. 2. An option is more valuable the longer the maturity. 3. The effect of the time to maturity on the option prices is indeterminate. 4. As the risk-free rate increases, the value of the option increases.arrow_forwardA stock currently trades at $100.
