Trader sells 200 put options on stocks with a strike price of $40 when the option Price(premium) is $2
Excercise price when the price is $39
Payoffs for 200 options = ($40 - $39)*200
= $200
The option price(Premium)on 200 options to be received = 200 options*$2
= $400
Net/(loss) = Premium Received - Payoffs
= $ 400- $200
Net Profit = $200
