Explanation / Answer

ANSWER 2:-

Position Value = 5000 shares * $ 45= $225000

No of Options needed to establish collar = 5000/100 = 50

Cost of 50 put options brought = 50 * 100 * 3 = $15000

Cost of 50 call options written = 50 *100 *2 = $ 10000

Therefore, Initial Cost= 15000 -10000 = $ 5000

Profit ={For Put Options [ Max of (0 , (40 - 35)] - For call OPtions [Max of 0, (35-50)]} * 50 *100 - Initial Cost ($5000)

Profit = [5-0]*50*100 -5000

profit =$20000

Net Position = 5000 shares * $ 35 + 20000

Net Position = $ 195000

ANSWER 3:-

Cost of Put Options Brought = 50*100*4= $ 20000

Profit / Loss =[Max of (0 , (45-35))*50*100 = 10*50*100] - Initial cost (20000) = $ 30000

Net Position = 5000*35 +30000 = $ 205000

ANSWER 4:-

Long Call & Short Put

An options strategy used to simulate the payoff of a long stock position, is entered by buying at-themoney calls and selling an equal number of at-the-money puts of the same underlying stock and expiration date.

ANSWER5:-

Sell a Put and Call

Both puts and calls expire worthless allowing owner to keep full credit received as their profit.

He recieves $7 by selling put and call, since both options expire, he keeps the profit.

ANSWER6:-

After 1 year:-

at 7%, Price of Bond = 60 * PVIFA(7%, 7years) + 1000 * PVIF(7%,7th Years)

Price = 60*5.3893 + 1000*0.6227

Price = 323.36+622.70

Price = $ 946.06

At end of 1 year, we have = 946.06 +60 = $ 1006.06

Holding Period Return = 1006.06/1000 - 1 = 0.61%
