Solution
Given that:
The call value goes higher when the underlying price increases and vice versa.
The premium value of put goes higher when underlying market decreases and vice versa.
The call value = Spot price - strike price (minimum zero)
The put value = Strike price - spot price (minimum zero
(1): Trade: Buy February Call
Now
The Strike Price: $ 190
The Call Premium paid: $ 6.75
The Stock Price on Expiry: $ 195
Value of call on expiry: $ 5
The Net Payoff: 6.75+5 = - 1.75
(2). Trade: Buy February Put
The Strike Price: $195
Put Premium: $ 5.00
Stock Price on Expiry = $ 195
Value of Put on Expiry: 0
Net payoff : 5
