Suppose you think AppX stock is going to appreciate substantially in value in the next year. Say the stock's current price, Sp, is $40, and a call option expiring in one year has an exercise price, X, of $40 and is selling at a price, C, of $14. With $12,600 to invest, you are considering three alternatives. a. Invest all $12,600 in the stock, buying 315 shares. b. Invest all $12,600 in 900 options (9 contracts). c. Buy 100 options (one contract) for $1,400, and invest the remaining $11,200 in a money market fund paying 5% in interest over 6 months (10% per year). What is your rate of return for each alternative for the following four stock prices in 6 months? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "O" wherever required.
