Suppose you construct a strategy based on options on a stock that is currently selling for $100. The strategy is as follows: Buy one call option having an exercise price of $95. Sell two calls having an exercise price of $100. Buy one call option having an exercise price of $105. All of the options are written on the same stock and all have the same expiration date. Compute the payoff (the dollars you receive) from this strategy at the expiration date for each of the following alternative stocks prices: $90, $95, $98, $100, $102, $105, and $110. What additional information would be required to determine whether your strategy had been profitable? What is the name of this strategy?

A stock price is $30. An investor buys one call option contract on the stock with a strike price of $28 and sells a call option contract on the stock with a strike price of $27. The market prices of the options are $2 and $1.7, respectively. The options have the same maturity date. Describe the investor’s position and the possible gain/loss he will get (taking into account the initial investment). Make a graph of your gain/loss.
