Explanation / Answer

34.

Price of IBM stock = $120;

Put option price = $10.

Each contract is worth 100 shares.

Since this is a put option, the maximum profit from one contract is achieved when the price of the stock falls to $0.

Profit when stock price falls to $0 is (120 - 10 - 0); 10 is the price of the put option bought

profit per share = $110

Profit per contract = $110 * 100 = $11,000

Answer is option C.
