The price of a stock is $64. A trader buys one put option contract on the stock with
a strike price of $60 when the option price is $10. When does the trader make a
profit? - answer-When the stock price is below $50. The payoff must be more than
the $10 paid for the option. The stock price must, therefore, be below $50.

The price of a stock is $67. A trader sells five put option contracts (each contract is
100 options) on the stock with a strike price of $70 when the option price is $4. The
options are exercised when the stock price is $69. What is the trader's net profit or
loss? - answer-Gain of $1500, The option payoff is 70 − 69 = $1. The amount
received for the option is $4. The gain is $3 per option. In total 5 × 100 = 500
options are sold. The total gain is therefore $3 × 500 = $1,500.
