Understanding The Long Put in a credit put spread - Part 1

On the members only forums a member asked some questions as he tries to get a better understanding of the value of using a long put for credit put spreads versus naked put trades.

I was working on a longer article which will take a fair amount of time to complete. Instead I broke the questions down and over the next several weeks I will work through all the questions posed through a series of articles on this topic.
