Explanation:

Given:

Stock price = $ 495

Strike prize = $ 530

a) The maximum possible price of a call option on Amazon is the stock price,

thus, the answer is $ 495

b) the maximum possible price of a put option on Amazon is the strike prize, thus, the answer is $ 530

c) given:

strike price = $ 465

now,

Minimum possible value of call option is given as  :

⇒ Stock price- strike price

on substituting the values, we get

⇒ $ 495 - $ 465

or

⇒ $ 30

thus,

answer is $ 30
