a) Buying a call and buying a put is a long straddle strategy. It is a strategy where we expect the price to be volatile. If the price moves beyond the band on either side, we make profit.
b) Payoffs
Call payoff = (Spot Price - Strike Price ) (Where S>X) or Zero (Where S<X)
Put Payoffs = (Strike Price - Spot Price) (Where S<X) or Zero (Where S>X)
c) Payoff Profile of the strategy
We find the net profit using various strike price
Break-even Price = Strike Price +/- ( Total Premium)
= 115 + 12.25 or 115 - 12.25
= 127.25 or 102.75
