Answer:

$100

Explanation:

A put option gives you the right to sell a stock at a specific strike price. In this case, the strike price is $45 per share and the market price of each share is $41.40.

The profit made with this investment = [($45 - $41.40) - $2.60] x 100* = $ x 100 = $100.

*Each option consists of 100 shares.
