January call options with a strike price of $75 are selling at $2, and January puts with a strike price of $65 are selling at $4. What will be the value of your portfolio in January (net of the proceeds from the options) if the stock price ends up at $57, $70, $77? What will the value of your portfolio be if you simply continued to hold the shares?

Shareholders' equity current year last year

Common stock: $235,563.56 $234,053.56

Capital over par value: $192,389,000.00 $170,431,000.00

Retained earnings: -$33,352,000.00 -$80,797,000.00

Total shareholders' equity $159,272,563.56 $89,868,053.56

last year's common stocks = 23,405,356 x $0.01 = $234,053.56

current year's common stocks = 23,563,356 x $0.01 = $235,563.56

last year's capital over par value = $170,431,000

current year's capital over par value = $192,389,000

last year's retained earnings = -$80,797,000.00

current year's retained earnings = -$80,797,000 + $54,583,000 - $7,138,000 = ($33,352,000.00)
