F Remaining time to expiration will be either T - T 1, T - T 2 or T - T = 0 (we have already covered the latter) F For a position closed out at T 1, the profit will be F where the closeout option price is taken from the Black- Scholes-Merton model for a given stock price at T 1. © 2010 Cengage Learning.
