Adam Smith just purchased 500 shares of AT\&E at $53.75, and he has decided to write covered calls against these stocks. Accordingly, he sells 5 AT\&E calls at their current market price of $5.47. The calls have 3 months to expiration and carry a strike price of $56.00. The stock pay a quarterly dividend of $0.49 a share (the next dividend to be paid in about a month). a. Determine the total profit and holding period return Adam will generate if the stock rises to $56.00 a share by the expiration date on the calls: b. What happens to Adam's profit (and return) if the price of the stock rises to more than $56.00 a share? c. Does this covered call position offer any protection (or cushion) against a drop in the price of the stock? Explain.
