Explanation / Answer

1)

Net cash flow = Max{(stock price now - exercise price),0} - Call premium

Net cash flow = Max{(155-145),0} - 5

Net cash flow = 10-5

Net cash flow = $ 5

Answer

$ 5

Net cash flow = Max{(exercise price - stock price now),0} - Call premium

Net cash flow = Max{(52-42),0} - 4

Net cash flow = 10-4
