Answer #1

a]

premium paid = number of contracts * premium per contract

premium paid = 29 * 2.13 ==> $61.77 , or rounded off to $62

b1]

Payoff = (stock price on expiry - strike price - premium paid per contract) * number of contracts

Payoff = ($49 - $47 - $2.13) * 29 ==> -$3.77, or rounded off to -$4 (loss)

b2]

Payoff = ($48 - $47 - $2.13) * 29 ==> -$32.77, or rounded off to -$33 (loss)

c1]

As the position is a long option position, the maximum gain is unlimited and the maximum loss is limited to the amount of premium paid to buy the options
