You are looking at a stock priced at $60 per share that you expect to increase in value over the next year. A call option on this stock with exercise price = $60 and a maturity of one year is selling for $6. With $6,000 to invest, you are considering three alternatives:
i. Invest all $6,000 in the stock
ii. Invest all $6,000 in options
iii. Buy 200 options and invest the remaining funds in a money market fund earning 1%
Construct a table showing your rate of return for each alternative investment if the stock price is 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 one year from now.
