What is the basis for choosing the 96.00 as out and 96.50 as call. I can do the futures and option but I am lost in the collar

Buying a put option at 96.00 is fixing a maximum rate (cap) of (in a perfect world) 4%.
Selling a call option at 96.50 is facing a minimum rate (floor) of (in a perfect world) 3.5%.
The reason for accepting a minimum rate is to reduce the net premium payable.
