Buying a covered call = short position in a stock + long position in a call option. Protective put = long position in a stock + long position in a put option. Reverse protective put = short position in a stock + short position in a put option. Strategies involving a single option and a stock: Writing a covered call = long position in a stock + short position in a call option. Bull spread = buy a call option and sell a call option on the same stock with a higher strike price. One call is in the money, the other call is out of the money. Bull spread = buy a put option and sell a put option on the same stock with a higher strike price. Bear spread = buy a put option and sell a put option on the same stock with a lower strike price. Box spread = bull call spread + bear put spread.

B	receive a bond payoff, buy stock via the put option, and deliver the stock to settle a short stock position.

C	sell stock via the call option, and then take proceeds from stock sale to pay off the risk-free loan.

D	sell stock via the put option, and then take proceeds from stock sale to pay off the risk-free loan.

Many individual investors employ a "buy-and-write" investment strategy that involves a long stock position and short call position. You implement the strategy by buying a stock at price $19.05 and writing a call with strike of $22.50 and option price of $3.20 . In one year you receive the stock's annual dividend of $0.75 and, furthermore, suppose the stock price has increased 20%. Find the rate of return for this buy-and-write strategy.

	a.	42.4%
	b.	56.5%
	c.	62.1%
	d.	51.4%
	e.	46.7%
