Suppose you think FedEx stock is going to appreciate substantially in value in the next 6 months. Say the stocks current price is $100, and a call option expiring in 6 months has an exercise price of $100 and is selling at a premium of $10. With $10,000 to invest, you are considering investing all $10,000 in 100 options (one contract) for $1,000 and invest the remaining $9,000 in a money market fund paying 4% in interest over 6 months (8% per year). Compute the percentage return of your portfolio 6 months from now if the price of FedEx stock is $80. Express your answer as a percent, i.e. if your answer is 0.10 = 10% then enter 10.
