- Assume that an investor holds the following portfolio: short stock bought at a price 90$, long one 3- month maturity call option on the same stock with an exercise price of $88. a) Show the payoff structure of this portfolio at option expiration both numerically and graphically. b) Calculate the profit/loss on this position if stocks are selling at $80 on the option maturity date. Calculate the profit/loss on the position if the stocks are selling at $110. Call option premium is $5, while put option premium is $3. Ignore the transaction costs. c) Explain what kind of "bet" the investor is making. What must the investor in such a portfolio believe about the stock price to justify this position?arrow_forwardThe price of Newgen Corp. stock will be either $94 or $103 at the end of the year. Call options are available with one year to expiration. T-bills currently yield 7.90%. (Do not leave any empty spaces; input a O wherever it is required. Omit "$" sign in your response.) a.
