What will be your total profit on these positions if the stock price is $25.60 on the day the options expire

Answer 1

-$120

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for What will be your total profit on these positions if the stock price is $25.60 on the day the options expire

Total profit = [1 × 100 × (-$1.30 - 25 + 25.60)] + [1 × 100 × (-$.50)]

Total profit = [1 × 100 × (-$0.70)] + [1 × 100 × (-$.50)]

Total profit =(-$70)+(-$50)

Total profit = -$120

Therefore What will be your total profit on these positions if the stock price is $25.60 on the day the options expire is -$120
