Question:

Prove the following bounds on European call options C(S, t), with expiry at time T, on an underlying share price S, with no dividends:

(a) C ≤ S,

(b) C ≥ max(S − Ee−r(T−t), 0),

(c) 0 ≤ C1 − C2 ≤ (E2 − E1)e−r(T−t),

where C1 and C2 are calls with exercise prices E1 and E2 respectively, and E1 < E2.
