This result can be obtained only by using an option pricing model and plugging in exercise prices until you find the one that makes the call premium the same as the put premium.

Chance/BrooksAn Introduction to Derivatives and Risk Management, 9th ed.Ch. 7: 12 Money Spreads (continued) n Collars (continued) u The collar is a lot like a bull spread (compare Figure 7.5 to Figure 7.1). Figure 7.5Figure 7.1Figure 7.5Figure 7.1 F The collar payoff exceeds the bull spread payoff by the difference between X 1 and the interest on X 1. F Thus, the collar is equivalent to a bull spread plus a risk-free bond paying X 1 at expiration. u For different holding periods, compute profit for range of stock prices at T 1, T 2, and T using Black-Scholes- Merton model.
