02 · The noise
Start with the strike and premium to find breakeven. For this expiration question, time value, volatility, and Greeks do not enter the math. Commissions, taxes, early exercise, and assignment timing are outside this model.
03 · The ask
Find breakeven. Check which direction helps, then whether the result stops at the premium. If not, take the distance between stock price and breakeven, identify profit or loss, and multiply by shares.
