Working Notes

For 8/31

Spot price = $ 0.61

Strike price = $ 0.60

Profit = $ 0.61-$ 0.60 = $ 0.01

Total profit = $ 0.01*150000 = $ 1500

For 9/30

Spot price = $ 0.63

Strike price = $ 0.60

Profit = $ 0.63-$ 0.60 = $ 0.03

Total profit = $ 0.03*150000 = $ 4500

For 10/15

Spot price = $ 0.635

Strike price = $ 0.60

Profit = $ 0.635-$ 0.60 = $ 0.035
