1. Suppose you buy 100 shares of ABC at $70. Create a covered call position using an option contract with a strike price of $80 currently selling at $3.00. Make a spreadsheet and draw a profit/loss diagram and label all significant points for this strategy. What is the payoff to this position if it is closed out at expiration when the stock is selling for $85?
2. XYZ Inc.'s JUN 300 calls ($3 1/4 each), JUN 305 calls ($1 1/2), and JUN 310 calls ($ 1/2) are all available to you. Construct a butterfly spread and show (a) the maximum possible gain and (b) the maximum possible loss and the break-even point. What is the gain or loss if, at expiration, the underlying security sells for exactly $303?
3. Suppose you buy 100 shares of ABC at $79.25 and simultaneously write a March 80 Straddle at the prices given below. Make a spreadsheet and draw a profit/loss diagram and label all significant points for this strategy.
March 80 call at $1.625
March 80 put at $3.50
