> From my understanding of Robinhood's options knowledge center, without the ability to exercise the option (i.e. I don't hold 100 shares nor have enough cash to buy 100), I cannot write contracts.

No one can answer your question because you did not specify the expiration. Since Robinhood averages the bid and the ask when providing their data and since I peeked at the option chain, it appears that you're looking at the August $40 call.

This question is a hot mess full of incorrect assumptions so here's the Cliff Notes version of what's going on here.
The average cost per call is $0.057652 (about 5.77 cents). Since an option is for 100 shares, the average cost per call would be $5.7652 and 98 calls would cost $564.99

I’m confused: Why would you ever buy the same strike price when rolling out a bull put spread if the price has moved against you?
If the price ever falls below the price you sold the put for, you can get assigned even if the expiration date is rolled one week into the future, correct?
Or am I missing something?

When you buy stock and are able to set a stop loss of up to 95% of your initial investment. This would mean if I buy stock for $100, which then skyrockets to $1000 but then drops to $100, no stop loss is triggered, despite a 90% drop in investment value.
