(2) Suppose you expect the stock price to remain at about $145 and decides to execute a butterfly spread using the November calls. What will be the profit if the stock price at expiration is $155?
(3) Now suppose you construct a long straddle using November 150 call and 150 put. What will the straddle cost?
(4) Suppose you construct a long straddle using November 150 call and 150 put. What is the profit if the stock price at expiration is at $165?
(5) Now suppose you construct a long strangle using November 160 call and 140 put. What will the strangle cost?
(6) Suppose you construct a long strangle using November 160 call and 140 put. What is the profit if the stock price at expiration is at $130?
