The dollar values obtained from the multiplication for both puts and calls at each strike price should then be summed up. This provides a total value for each strike price.

This process should be repeated for all in-the-money strike prices. Each strike price has its own unique calculation based on its difference from the stock price and its open interest.

Initially, the difference between the current stock price and each in-the-money strike price should be calculated. This difference represents the intrinsic value of the option.

Next, the open interest at each strike price should be multiplied by this difference. Open interest refers to the number of contracts that have not been settled yet.
