SOAL 3: COLLAR

Imagine that you are holding 5,000 shares of stock, currently selling at $40 per share. You are
ready to sell the shares but would prefer to put off the sale until next year due to tax reasons. If
you continue to hold the shares until January, however, you face the risk that the stock will
drop in value before year-end. You decide to use a collar to limit downside risk without laying
out a good deal of additional funds. January call options with a strike price of $45 are selling
at $2, and January puts with a strike price of $35 are selling at $3. What will be the value of
your portfolio in January (net of the proceeds from the options) if the stock price ends up at (a)
$30? (b) $40? (c) $50? Compare these proceeds to what you would realize if you simply
continued to hold the shares.
