Consider the following portfolio. You write a put option with exercise price $90 and buy a put with the same expiration date with exercise price $95.
a. Plot the value of the portfolio at the expiration date of the options.
b. Now, plot the profit of the portfolio. Which option must cost more?
You write a put option with X = 100 and buy a put with X = 110. The puts are on the same stock and have the same expiration date.a. Draw the payoff graph for this strategy.b. Draw the profit graph for this strategy.c. If the underlying stock has positive beta, does this portfolio have positive or negative beta?
Find a portfolio with payoff at time T equal to
if 0 ≤ S(T) ≤ 10,
if 10 ≤S(T) ≤ 30,
if 30 ≤S(T).
VT =
2ST + 30,
-3ST+80,
ST-40,
Here, ST denotes the price of the underlying asset at time T. You can hold cash,
the asset, calls, and puts.

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.
