3) Carol Krebs is considering buying 100 shares of Sooner Products, Inc.,
at $62 per share. Because she has read that the firm will probably soon receive certain large
orders from abroad, she expects the price of Sooner to increase to $70 per share. As an

dividends.
a. What will Carol's profit be on the stock transaction if its price does rise to $70 and she
sells?
b. How much will Carol earn on the option transaction if the underlying stock price rises to
$70?
c. How high must the stock price rise for Carol to break even on the option transaction?

striking price of $45 can be purchased for $380. The stock of Carlisle is currently selling for
$46 per share.
a. Ignoring any brokerage fees or dividends, what profit or loss will Ed make if he buys the
option and the lowest price of Carlisle stock during the 90 days is $46, $44, $40, and $35?
b. What effect would the fact that the price of Carlisle stock slowly rose from its initial $46
level to $55 at the end of 90 days have on Ed's purchase?
