Murphy long CALL Option Payoff at expiration

Buying Murphy USA's call option is the simplest of option trades. A call option on Murphy Stock gives investors the right (but not the obligation) to purchase Murphy USA at the given strike price. Therefore Murphy USA's call intrinsic value or payoff at expiration depends on where the Murphy Stock price is relative to the call option strike price. The strike price of 400.0 is the critical point that divides the payoff function into two parts. Below the strike, the payoff chart is constant and negative (the trade is a loss). Above the strike, the payoff line is upward sloping as the option payoff rises in proportion with Murphy USA's price. Finally, at the break-even point of 400.0, the line crosses zero, and trading Murphy becomes profitable.
