Expert Solution
Three month T- bill of face value 1000 is sold for 850 rupees. On maturity of T-bill at end of three months, it will be redeemd at 1000. So, buying the RBI T-bill for 850 will keep the money 1000 safe without any loss which is the main clause in the question.
With the balance 150, he can buy three month call of XYZ having strike price of 1000 rupees.
After three months:
a) RBI T-bill matures and he will have 1000 in his hand.
If XYZ stock price goes up to 1500, he will excercise his call option for 1000 using the maturity proceeds of RBI Tbill and sells in open market for 1500.
Now, the gross value in his hands is 1500.
b) RBI T-bill matures and he will have 1000 in his hand.
If XYZ stock price goess down to 750, the call option will not be excercised and will be lapsed since call option is only right to buy but not obligation.
So, the gross amount in his hands is 1000 with no loss. Hence none of his original investment is lost and he keep getting funds from his parents for further investment.
Upper boundary of gross amount of our strategy is 1500
Lower boundary of gross amount of our strategy is 1000.
