Question: A bear spread payoff has the form g ( S T ) = max ( K 2 - S T , 0 ) - max

A bear spread payoff has the form g(ST)=max(K2-ST,0)-max(K1-ST,0), where 0
v(t,x)=01yK(xy,t,T)g(y)dyv(t,x)K1.
(a) Sketch the payoff diagram.
(b) Use the general formula for the European option pricing function to find the time-zero option
price of a bear spread.
(C) general formula for European option pricing isv(t,x)=01yK(xy,t,T)g(y)dy. Use this
formula and find v(t,x).
 A bear spread payoff has the form g(ST)=max(K2-ST,0)-max(K1-ST,0), where 0 v(t,x)=01yK(xy,t,T)g(y)dyv(t,x)K1.
