Question: Problem 1 7 : Option ( 1 5 % ) The stock price of Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ) is trading at $ 1

Problem 17: Option (15%)
The stock price of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is trading at $160 per share in the beginning of Jan 2024. You heard that JNJ develop a new medicine for cancer. The medicine is very likely to be formally approved by FDA in 3 months. It will cause a rise of JNJ share's price (likely $170 $180). Yet experts point out the effect of this medicine may be limited so it is not likely to increase JNJ share's price a lot (larger than $180). Suppose there are following European equity options (with 3-month maturity from now) available in the market. Design an option strategy which is likely to utilize this opportunity.
