Explanation:

The computation of the net profit or loss is shown below:

Before that we have to determine the following calculations

Net Profit from call option is

= (Gain from Exercising Call Option - Option Premium paid) × Size of the Contract

= (($36 - $30) - $1.60) × 100 Shares

= $440

Net Loss from put option is

= (Option Premium paid) × Size of the Contract

So, the net profit is  

= Net Profit from Call Option - Net loss from Put Option

= $440 - $20
