Can you please answer this using this logic from a similar question?a. When you write a contract, you receive the option premium. So,Can you please answer this using this logic from a similar question?

a.

When you write a contract, you receive the option premium. So, given 100 shares per contract:

Premium received = $2.40(80)(100) = $19,200

At $98.00: Payoff per share = MIN[$98.00 100, 0] = $2.00
Terminal value = $2.00(80)(100) = $16,000
Net gain = $19,200 16,000 = $3,200
At $112: Payoff per share = MIN[$112 100, 0] = $0
Terminal value = $0(80)(100) = $0
Net gain = $19,200 0 = $19,200

b.

The break-even stock price when you write a put option is:

Break-even stock price = Exercise price Option premium = $100 2.40 = $97.60

The writer of a put option has a net gain when the stock price exceeds the break-even price. The maximum amount a put writer can earn is the initial premium received, which occurs when the put finishes out-of-the-money.
