Question:

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

(a) P ≤ Ee−r(T−t),

(b) P ≥ Ee−r(T−t) − S,

(c) 0 ≤ P2 − P1 ≤ (E2 − E1)e−r(T−t),

where P1 and P2 are calls with exercise prices E1 and E2 respectively, and E1 < E2.
