Answer 1

(a) Computation of the net call pay, net put pay and net combined pay:-

Given Information:-

Call Strike Price(KC) = 0.75(US/AUD)

Put Strike Price(KP) = 0.65(US/AUD)

Call Premium = USD 0.04

Put Optrion = USD 0.08

Call Payoff=Max(0,Spot Price - Strike Price)

Put Payoff =Max(0,Strike Price - Spot Price)

(b)Plot separately the Net Long call pay, the net long put pay and the net combined pay

Call Payoff Plot:-

Put Payoff Plot:-

Combine Payoff Plot:-

(c)The combined option is called Strangle option Strategy.
