FINRA Series 7

Category - Series 7

Bubba buys one XYZ November 65 call at $3 and one XYZ November 65 put at $2. XYZ is trading at $72. The put expires and the call is closed at its intrinsic value. What is the resulting profit?
  1. $200
  2. $300
  3. $500
  4. $700
Explanation
Answer: A - $200. Since XYZ is trading at 72, a November 65 call has an intrinsic value of $700. A sale at that value compared to the cost of $300 is a profit of $400. Subtract the loss of $200 on the expired put to obtain the profit of $200.
