= (300*($.50 +$.35 +$.45+$.75) - 4*$11.20 commissions)
(b) Dividend Income: +$0.00
(c) Capital Appreciation (If stock assigned at $20.00): -$248.95
= ($20.00-$20.80)*300 - $8.95 commissions
Total Net Profit(If stock assigned at $20.00): +$321.25
= (+$570.20 +$0.00 -$248.95)
Absolute Return if Exercised at $20.00: +5.1%
= +$321.25/$6,248.95
Annualized Return If Exercised (ARIE) +12.3%
= (+$321.25/$6,248.95)*(365/152 days)
