10 Suppose that put options on a stock with strike prices $30 and $35 cost $4 and $7
respectively. How can the options be used to create (a) a bull spread and (b) a bear spread?
Construct a table that shows the profit and payoff for both spreads.
Solution 2

A bull spread is created by buying the $30 put and selling the $35 put. This strategy gives
rise to an initial cash inflow of $3. The outcome is as follows:


Stock price Payoff Profit
St>=35 0 3
30<=St<35 St-35 St-32
St<30 -5 -2

A bear spread is created by selling the $30 put and buing the $35 put. This strategy costs $3
initially. The outcome is as follows:



Stock price Payoff Profit
St>=35 0 -3
30<=St<35 35-St 32-St
St<30 5 2
