Which of the following create a straddle?
I Short 1 ABC Jan 50 Call
Short 1 ABC Jan 50 Put
II Short 1 ABC Apr 50 Call
Short 1 ABC Oct 50 Put
III Short 1 ABC Jan 50 Call
Long 1 ABC Jan 50 Put
IV Long 1 ABC Jan 50 Call
Long 1 ABC Jan 60 Put
```
A I only
B I and III
C II and IV
D III and IV
The best answer is A. A straddle is the purchase of a call and a put; or the sale of a call and a put; on the same underlying security with the same strike price and expiration.
44
On the same day when the market price of ABC is $48, a customer:
Buys 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $3
Buys 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $5
The market rises to $60 and the call is exercised and the resulting stock position is sold in the market. The put expires worthless. The gain or loss is:
A $200 gain
B $700 gain
C $800 loss
D $1,000 loss
The best answer is A.
If the stock moves to $60, the call goes "in the money" and will be exercised and the put expires "out the money." When the call is exercised, the customer buys the stock at the strike price of $50, and sells it at the current market price of $60, for a 10 point gain. However, since 8 points was paid in combined premiums, the net result is a gain of 2 points or $200.
45
On the same day in a cash account, a customer purchases 1 MNO Mar 45 Call @ $3 and 1 MNO Mar 45 Put @ $1, when the market price of MNO is $44.38. Subsequently, MNO goes to $38 and the customer lets the call expire and closes the put at intrinsic value. The customer has:
A $300 gain
B $700 gain
C $300 loss
D $400 loss
A
This is a long straddle:
Buy 1 MNO Mar 45 Call @ $3
Buy 1 MNO Mar 45 Put @ $1
$4 Debit
If the market drops below $45, the call will expire "out the money" and the put goes "in the money." Here the put is "in the money" (or has intrinsic value of) 7 points. This results in a 7 point profit on the put, if it is "closed" (sold) at intrinsic value. But, since 4 points were paid in premiums, the customer has a net gain of 3 points per share, or $300.
46
A customer buys 1 ABC Jan 30 Call @ $3 and buys 1 ABC Jan 30 Put @ $4 when the market price of ABC = $31. The maximum potential loss is:
A $600
B $700
C $1,500
D $3,000
The best answer is B. If the market stays at $30, both contracts expire "at the money." The customer loses the $700 paid in premiums. This is the maximum potential loss.
47
```
A customer buys 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $4 and buys 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $6 when the market price of ABC is $49. At which market prices is the position profitable?
I $39
II $40
III $60
IV $61
A I and IV only
B II and III only
C II and IV only
D I, II, III, IV
```
The best answer is A.
A long straddle is the purchase of a call and the purchase of a put on the same stock at the same strike price and expiration. If the market moves up, the call will be exercised. If the market moves down, the put will be exercised. Since $10 in premiums was paid, the market must move down by more than 10 points to profit on the put; or must move up by more than 10 points to profit on the call. Thus, the position is profitable at either $39 or $61. Note that $40 and $60 are the breakeven points. To summarize, the breakeven formulas for a long straddle are:
48
If the market price of the underlying security remains the same as the strike price of the option contract, which of the following will have a profit?
I The buyer of an "at the money" straddle
II The seller of an "at the money" straddle
III The seller of an "at the money" call
A I only
B II only
C III only
D II and III
The best answer is D. If the market price remains the same as the strike price, then there is no reason for the holder of an option contract to exercise. The contracts will expire and the holder will lose the premium, while the writer will gain the premium. Sellers of contracts and straddles (the sale of a call and a put on the same stock with the same strike price and expiration) will profit. Holders of contracts and straddles will lose the premiums paid.
49
If ABC is at a market price of $50, which of the following positions will be profitable?
A Long 1 ABC Jan 60 Call @ $5; Long 1 ABC Jan 60 Put @ $5
B Short 1 ABC Jan 60 Call @ $5; Short 1 ABC Jan 60 Put @ $5
C Long 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $5; Long 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $5
D Short 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $5; Short 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $5
The best answer is D.
Choice A is a long 60 straddle. If the market goes to $50, the put is 10 points "in the money," while the call is 10 points "out the money" and will expire. The 10 point profit on the put exactly offsets the total 10 point premium paid - this is breakeven.
Choice B is a short 60 straddle. If the market goes to $50, the put is 10 points "in the money," while the call is 10 points "out the money" and will expire. The 10 point loss on the put exactly offsets the total 10 point premium received - this is breakeven.
Choice C is a long 50 straddle. If the market stays at $50, both the call and the put expire "at the money" and the holder loses the premiums paid.
Choice D is a short 50 straddle. If the market stays at $50, both the call and the put expire "at the money" and the writer gains the premiums received.
50
On the same day, a customer:
Sells 1 ABC Jan 45 Call @ $4
Sells 1 ABC Jan 45 Put @ $3
At that time, the market price of ABC is $44. If the market rises to $58 and the call is exercised (the put expires out the money), the gain or loss is:
A $600 loss
B $700 loss
C $700 gain
D $1,300 gain
The best answer is A.
If the market rises to $58, the put expires "out the money" and the call will be exercised. The writer is obligated to deliver the stock at $45 on the short call. Since the price in the market is $58, the customer loses 13 points. After deducting the 7 points of premiums collected, the net loss is 6 points or $600.
51
A customer sells 1 ABC Jan 30 Straddle for a total premium of $500. At expiration, ABC closes at $21 and the customer is exercised. As a result, the customer will have a:
A $100 gain
B $400 gain
C $400 loss
D $900 gain
The best answer is C. When a customer sells a straddle, he sells a call and a put on the same stock with the same strike price and expiration. In this case the customer:
Sells 1 ABC Jan 30 Call
Sells 1 ABC Jan 30 Put
$500 Credit
If the market stays exactly at $30, both positions expire and the customer would gain the $500 credit. In this case, the market declines to $21. The call expires "out the money," while the put is 9 points "in the money" and is exercised at a loss of 9 points = $900 loss. Since $500 was received in premiums, the net loss is $400.
52
A customer sells 1 ABC Jan 70 Call @ $4 and sells 1 ABC Jan 70 Put @ $1 on the same day when the market price of ABC stock is $72. Assume that the market price falls to $66 and the call premium falls to $.50, while the put premium rises to $5.50. The customer closes the positions. The gain or loss is:
A $100 gain
B $100 loss
C $500 gain
D $500 loss
The customer established two positions with a credit of $5 x 1 contract = $500 credit. When the market is at $66, the customer closes the call at $.50 and closes the put at $5.50. Thus, the positions are closed at:
Buy 1 ABC Jan 70 Call @ $ .50
Buy 1 ABC Jan 70 Put @ $5.50
$6.00 debit = $600 debit
The customer closed for a debit of $600. Since the initial credit was $500, the customer has a $100 loss.

```
A customer sells 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $3 and sells 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $6 when the market price of ABC is $48. At which market prices is the position profitable?
I $44
II $42
III $40
IV $38
A I and II only
B II and III only
C I and IV only
D III and IV only
```
The best answer is A. A short straddle is the sale of a call and the sale of a put on the same stock at the same strike price and expiration. If the market moves up, the call will be exercised. If the market moves down, the put will be exercised. If the market stays at the strike price, then both contracts expire "at the money," and the premiums collected represent the maximum gain. Since $9 in premiums was collected, the market must move down by more than 9 points to lose on the put; or must move up by more than 9 points to lose on the call. Thus, the position is unprofitable if the market moves below $50 - $9 = $41 per share; or moves above $50 +$9 = $59 per share. The position would be profitable between $42 and $58 per share. To summarize, the breakeven formulas for a short straddle are:
54
```
A customer sells 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $4 and sells 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $6 when the market price of ABC is $49. At which market prices is the position profitable?
I $40
II $41
III $59
IV $60
A I and III
B I and IV
C II and III
D II and IV
```
The best answer is D.
If the market price remains the same at expiration, "at the money" options contracts will expire. This means that the writer of the contract will earn the premium and the holder will lose the premium.
Since a long straddle is the purchase of a call and a put on the same stock with the same strike price and expiration, the buyer of an "at the money" straddle will lose the premiums paid if the stock price remains unchanged because both positions will expire. On the other hand, the writer of that straddle, the sale of a call and a put on the same stock, will earn the premiums.

85
A ratio call write
is an income strategy suitable for a "flat" market.
86
If the market stays the same, 2:1 ratio
then both calls expire "at the money" and double premium income has been collected.
87
If the market drops, 2:1 ratio
then the calls expire "out the money" and customer begins to lose on the stock position (offset by the double collected premiums).
88
If the market rises 2:1 ratio
he calls go "in the money" and are exercised. If the cost of the stock and the strike price on the calls are the same, there is no gain or loss on the "covered" call(s). However, the exercise of the naked call(s) obligates the writer to deliver stock at the strike price that he does not own.
89
A customer buys 100 shares of ABC stock at $50 and sells 1 ABC Jan 50 Call @ $4 and sells 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $3. The customer's maximum potential loss is:
A $700
B $4,300
C $9,300
D Unlimited
he best answer is C. This customer has a long stock position with a short straddle. The customer believes that the market will remain flat for the life of the options; and the customer will retain the total premium of $700 if this occurs. If the market falls, the short put is exercised and the short call expires. The exercise of the short put obligates the customer to buy 100 shares of ABC stock at $50, in addition to the 100 shares already owned at $50. In a falling market, the customer will sustain a loss on the 200 shares of ABC - with the maximum loss occurring if the stock falls to "0." In this case, the customer loses $50 paid per share x 200 shares = $10,000 - $700 collected premiums = $9,300. On the other hand, if the market rises above $50, the short call is exercised and the short put expires. In this case, the customer must deliver the 100 shares owned for $50 received per share. Since the customer paid $50 per share, the only gain is the combined $700 premium received.
90
Which of the following positions is a Ratio Spread?
A Buy 1 ABC Jan 50 Call; Buy 1 ABC Jan 50 Put
B Buy 100 shares of ABC stock; Sell 2 ABC Jan 50 Calls
C Buy 1 ABC Jan 50 Call; Sell 2 ABC Jan 60 Calls
D Buy 1 ABC Jan 50 Call; Sell 1 ABC Jan 60 Call
The best answer is C. Choice A is a straddle. Choice B is a ratio call write strategy where the customer is selling more call contracts than his long position. Choice D is a simple vertical or price spread. Choice C is a ratio spread because there is more than 1 short call contract (in this case there are 2) written against the 1 long call contract.
91
On the same day in a margin account, a customer buys 5 ABC January 40 Calls @ $6 and sells 10 ABC January 50 Calls @ $1 when the market price of ABC is at $43. The customer has created a:
A short combination
B long combination
C ratio spread
D back spread
he best answer is C.
This is a very difficult question. The customer is taking the following positions:
Buy 5 ABC Jan 40 Calls @ $6
Sell 5 ABC Jan 50 Calls @ $1
$5 Debit
Sell 5 ABC Jan 50 Calls @ $1 Credit
The customer is creating 5 "long call spreads" and has 5 naked calls. In effect, he is writing 2 times the number of short calls needed to create the spread. Therefore he is "writing at a 2:1 ratio." This is termed a ratio spread. Long call spreads are used when a customer is moderately bullish, and wishes to reduce the cost of the long position by selling an equal number of "out the money" calls. This limits upside gain potential, but also reduces the cost of the positions. By writing twice the number of calls, the customer further reduces the cost of the positions, but also assumes unlimited upside risk on the 5 naked calls that are left.
