Expert Solution

Buyer of put option :

If price on expiry is less than strike price, put will be exercised,otherwise not.

If put is exercised, payoff = strike price - price on expiry otherwise, payoff = 0

Profit = payoff - premium

Here, strike price = 0.65 and put premium =0.00003

Now price on expiry = 0.70 , so put will not be exercised, payoff = 0

Profit = payoff - premium = 0 -0.00003 = - 0.00003

Answer : e : - 0.00003

now in second case, call is sold

so seller will receive a premium, it is seller's income

payoff is zero, if price on expiry is less than strike price

otherwise negative payoff, payoff = strike price - price on expiry

strike price = 0.65 and Premium received on sell of call = 0.00046

now price on expiry is higher than strike price, so negative payoff

Payoff = strike price - price on expiry = 0.65 -0.70 = -0.05

Profit = payoff + premium = - 0.05 + 0.00046 = - 0.04954

Answer : h : - 0.04954
