After watching the prices of drug stocks move up and down by large amounts, you seek an investment strategy that will succeed in spite of these unpredictable fluctuations. You notice that Merck stock is trading at 36.875. Two-month call options at $40 strike price are available for $0.50. Puts with the same expiration date and strike price sell for $3.75.

c) If Merck puts were not traded, what alternative strategy could you use to achieve the exact same payoffs as described above?
d) Calculate the out-of-pocket cost today of the alternative strategy you described in part (c) and (d)
