Answer 1

BULL SPREAD WITH CALL OPTION :

.1 BUY (LONG) Strike 155 Call … Amount to be paid=Ask=$22.20

.2 SELL (SHORT) Strike 160 call … amount Received=Bid=$14.90

Cash outflow =-$22.90

Cash inflow=$14.90

Net Cash flow at the time of creating bull spread=(-22.20+14.90)=-$7.30

Payoff for Long Call at $155;

If Price at expiration   S= or < $155 , Gain/(loss)=$0

If price at expiration S> $155, Gain =(S-155)

Payoff for Short Call at $160;

If Price at expiration   S= or < $160 , Gain/(loss)=$0

If price at expiration S> $160, (Loss)=(160-S)
