A customer buys 1 XYZ Aug 60 call at 4 and 1 XYZ Aug 60 put at 2 when XYZ is at 61.25. If the stock rises to 68, and the customer lets the put expire and closes out the call at intrinsic value, the result is
This type of operation is called a long straddle. The break even price for the put option is $66 (= $60 + $6 call and put costs). Any price above this break even price results in a gain, so a $68 price will result in a $68 - $66 = $2 gain per share x 100 shares = $200 gain in total.
