How do you get the answer if CFAI asks this Question again?

1) pull it from memory
2) calculate it from 4 max()
3) use graph
4) ...

I want to reserve the memory for GIPS.

these derivative calculations are so intuitive. why would you have to memorize any of it?

lets not forget latency, which is arguably more important than speed above 1333 mhz.

Payoff to the box spread is just the risk free rate. Sure hope the questions might be that simple. Am I missing something?

Only if the markets are efficient. You'll make a return above the risk free rate if one of the components is mispriced.

Why is it risk free rate?

Becuase excessive (arbitrary) profit can be made if market prices of the Put/Call are fair.

Am I right ?

I think the payoff of the box spread = Xh-Xl.
RFR is a return.
