  1. The cooked up spread. You have been doing research on Ford Motor Company (F). You note that Ford is currently trading at $9.35. After doing some analysis you feel that a fair price range over the next year for Ford is between $15 and $17. You however, are unsure if you wish to invest in Ford over a long horizon and feel that an options trade may be most appropriate. You see that there are listed options with a June 26th expiration and that these would work for your purposes. You decide that you want to long one call with a $10 strike, you also decide that you dont want to spend much money entering the trade, so you short 10 calls with a strike of $15 as this aligns with your price range on F. What is the dollar outlay on this trade, max profit, and max loss (3 pts, one point per answer)? In your opinion is the potential profit with the risk (one point)? Now, what if instead you also buy 9 calls with a strike of $17 which was on the high side of your price estimate. What would be the max loss, max profit, and the two break even points if this is the trade you set up (4 points, one point per)?
