Description

At maturity, the call option holder will "exercise", i.e. choose stock, with value S, if the stock price is above the strike K, paying K to the option issuer, realizing value S-K. The put option holder will exercise, receiving K while surrendering stock worth S, if the stock price is below K.

Details

Therefore the value at maturity is equal to max(0,callput*(S-K))
