In this case, the put position is opened at a strike of $7.50, which is already $0.89 in-the-money. However, its sale more than offsets this moneyness and the cost of the long call that the trade results in a net credit of of $1.75 per share. The final position can be considered as having a discount of $0.86 per share over the underlying price of $6.61 for a 13.00% total.
