    Answer: Net loss = $2

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Purchase one IBM July 120 put contract for a premium of $5

    IBM stock is at $123 per share on the market

    In buying these kind of call option, a person can makes the profit if the future price of the share is greater than the strike price.

    Here,

    Profit = $123 - $120 = $3

    But, we have to deduct the premium paid that is $5

    Therefore,

    Net loss = Profit - premium paid

    = 3 - 5

    =$2 ⇒ This much loss realize on a the investment.
