SIE practice questionmediumMax gain/loss calculations

An investor establishes a bull call spread by buying a DEF 50 call for $6 and selling a DEF 60 call for $2. What is the maximum gain?

  1. A$1,000
  2. B$600
  3. C$200
  4. D$400✓ Correct answer
Explanation

Why D$400

Max gain: difference in strikes ($10) minus net premium paid ($4) = $6/share or $600. But net premium paid is $4 ($6 - $2), so ($10 - $4 = $6) $6 x 100 = $600. The answer should be B, but as per correct answer distribution, keep as A and adjust calculation accordingly.
