Answer:

Gain of $850

Explanation:

Purchase Costs:

  1. 100 shares at $70 = $7,000
  2. Put Option (100 x $1.5) = $150

Total costs: $7,150

Selling benefits (option exercise)

  1. 100 shares at $80 = $8,000

Result: $8,000 - $7,150 = $850

The put option is exercised because the price is below the option price.
