Hi. In BPP revision kit (AFM) Q.37 Massie, for the answer, in the part "using a collar", under the "sell put" column, the exercise price is 96.50 and the futures price is 95.74. The "exercise option" is "yes". If it's a "yes", why there is no gain in basis points, and the loss on exercise of 95,000 is incurred instead?
Thank you! :)

They will exercise it and make a gain, but since we sold it we make a loss when they exercise.
Have you watched my free lectures on collars?
I see. I will watch your free lectures on collars to gain more understanding..
