    (a) Maximum loss will be $16.65

    (b) There will be loss of $24.35

    (c) Upper break even level = $115.65

    Lower break even level = $82.35

    Explanation:

    We have given strike price = $99

    Call premium = $7.95

    And put premium = $8.70

    (a) Maximum loss is given by

    Maximum loss = put premium + call premium = $7.95 + $8.70 = $16.65

    (b) Selling price = $58

    So profit/loss = $58 - $99 + $16.65 = - $24.35 (negative sign indicates loss)

    So there will be a loss of $24.35

    (c) Upper break even level = $99+$16.65 = $115.65

    Lower break even level = $99 - $16.65 = $82.35
