Explanation / Answer

For a put option,

Payoff = max[(Strike price - Stock price),0]

a.

Payoff = max[(84-82),0] = 2

Net profit per share = payoff - premium paid

Total Net profit = 100* (2 - 1.42) = $58

b.

Payoff = max[(84-85.18),0] = 0

Net profit per share = payoff - premium paid

Total Net profit = 100* (0 - 1.42) = -$142
