Option Pricing

A) Suppose an investor offers to sell you a call option for a share in Baroque Inc. [a housing construction firm). The offer is for a one-year European call option that has an exercise price of $130. Baroque's stock price is currently selling for $12 0, and over the coming year the price will either rise to $160 or fall to $110. Also, the one- year rate of interest is 10 percent. If the investor offers to sell the option for $10, would you go for broke and buy a call option for Baroque? (Sorry for the bad pun.) Please explain carefully. B. Sketch a graph of an investor's payoff as a function of future stock price if the investor holds both a put option with an exercise price of $130 and a share of Baroque stock.
