a. What is your profit/loss if you buy a call and T-Bills, and sell IBM stock and a put option?
b. What is your profit/loss if you buy IBM stock and a put option, and sell a call and T-Bills?
c. Explain why your answers to (a) and (b) are not both zero.
d. Do the same calculation for the October options with a strike price of $150. What do you find? How can you explain this?
