To draw: A payoff and profit diagram to depict a straddle position when the exercise price is $130.
Introduction:
Straddle Strategy: It is one of the strategies used in manipulating the call and put options. In this strategy, the investor faces a position where the call option and the put option are placed in the same position with the same strike price (X) and time (t). In other words, a straddle is supposed to be the combined value of both the call option and the put option.

Let us use the same diagram for both the answers. Let us now understand the depiction of payoff and profit using a straddle strategy.
Like said before, in straddle strategy, both the call position and put position will be placed at the same place with the same strike price and expiration time. Let us observe the diagram. The blue shows the payoff and profit using a straddle strategy.
This diagram clears shows that when the price option of $110, the payoff is $20 and the net profit earned is $34.60. In a case where the price is $120, the profit earned is $44.60 and when the price rises to $130 the profit earned also rises to $54.60. Therefore, it means an increase in price increased profit also.
b.
To draw: A payoff and profit diagram to depict a bullish spread position when the exercise price is $120 and $130 assuming the excel position.
Introduction:
Bullish spread position: It is supposed to be a very optimistic option strategy. It is designed in such a way that profit can be earned even if there is a moderate increase in the price of the underlying asset.
b.
Answer to Problem 16PS

Let us use the same diagram for here also. Let us now understand the depiction of payoff and profit using a bullish spread strategy. The yellow line shown in the diagram depicts payoff and profit using a bullish spread strategy. When the diagram is observed, we find that when a call option is purchased at $110, the market is decreasing. When a call option is sold at $140, the net profit earned is $7.50. So, irrespective of a decline in market conditions, a net profit of $7.50 is earned.
