Answer #1

AS YOU HAVE SHORT A PUT, YOU ARE WRITER OF PUT OPTION.

FOR A WRITER, THE PREMIUM IS INCOME = 2.50

IF PRICE DECREASES, THE PAYOFF WILL BE NEGATIVE FOR WRITER OF A PUT OPTION

AS YOU HAVE RECEIVED A PREMIUM OF 2.5, YOU WILL NOT INCUR ANY LOSS TILL PRICE DECREASES BY 2.5.

SO

BREAK EVEN PRICE = EXERCISE PRICE - PREMIUM RECEIVED = 150 - 2.5 = 147.5

ANSWER : 147.5 (Thumbs up please)
