In each case identify the arbitrage and demonstrate how you would make money by creating a table showing your payoff.


a. Consider two European options on the same stock with the same time to expiration. The 90-strike call costs $10 and the 95-strike call costs $4.


b. Now suppose these options have 2 years to expiration and the continuously compounded interest rate is 10%. The 90-strike call costs $10 and the 95- strike call costs $5.25. Show again that there is an arbitrage opportunity. (Hint: It is important in this case that the options are European.)


c. Suppose that a 90-strike European call sells for $15, a 100-strike call sells for $10, and a 105-strike call sells for $6. Show how you could use an asymmetric butterfly to profit from this arbitrage opportunity.
