Explanation / Answer

1.   

Buyer of Call payoff=max(S-K,0)=max(37.1-37.5,0)=0

Buyer of Call profit=call payoff-premium=0-0.55=-0.55

So, for 8 options, loss=8*0.55=$4.40

2.   

Buyer of Call payoff=max(S-K,0)=max(33.6-30,0)=3.6

Buyer of Call profit=call payoff-premium=3.6-0.34=3.26

So, for 5 options, proft=5*3.26=$16.30

3.   

Writer of Put payoff=min(S-K,0)=min(41.05-40,0)=0

Writer of Put profit=put payoff+premium=0+0.4=0.4

So, for 10 options, proft=10*0.4=$4

4.   

Writer of Put payoff=min(S-K,0)=min(21.7-22.5,0)=-0.8

Writer of Put profit=put payoff+premium=-0.8+0.25=-0.55

So, for 10 options, loss=1*0.55=$0.55
