Suppose you believe that basso inc.'s stock price is going to increase from its current level of $22.50 sometime during the next 5 months. for $3.10 you can buy a 5-month call option giving you the right to buy 1 share at a price of $25 per share. if you buy this option for $3.10 and basso's stock price actually rises to $45, what would your pre-tax net profit be?

Respuesta :

The pre-tax net profit can be calculated using the formula:

Net Profit = Final Stock Price – Buying Cost – Option Cost

Substituting the given values into the equation will result in:

Net Profit = $45 - $25 - $3.10

Net Profit = $16.90
