Explanation / Answer

BEAR SPREAD WITH PUT OPTION :

.1 BUY (LONG) Strike 175 PUT … Amount to be paid=Ask=$3.00

.2 SELL (SHORT) Strike 170 PUT … amount Received=Bid=$1.47

Cash outflow =-$3.0

Cash inflow=$1.47

Net Cash flow at the time of creating Bear spread=(-3+1.47)=-$1.53

Payoff for Long PUT at $175;

If Price at expiration   S= or > $175 , Gain/(loss)=$0

If price at expiration S< $175, Gain =$175-S

Payoff for Short PUT at $170;

If Price at expiration   S= or > $170 , Gain/(loss)=$0

If price at expiration S< $170, (Loss)=S-$170
