Solution

A Fixed Lookback put option gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the highest price it achieved during the life of the option.

The payoff for a Fixed Lookback put option is calculated as follows:

Payoff = Max(0, Strike price - Minimum traded price)

Given the details in the question:

Strike price, K = 26.16Minimumtradedpriceofunderlying=26.16 Minimum traded price of underlying = 20.75

We can substitute these values into the formula:

Payoff = Max(0, 26.1626.16 - 20.75) Payoff = Max(0, $5.41)

Therefore, the payoff for this Fixed Lookback put option is $5.41.
