    0.0185 or 1.85%

    Explanation:

    The payoff table shows that the portfolio is riskless with time-T value equal to $55.

    Position

    ST < 55

    ST > 55

    Buy stock: ST, ST

    Short call: 0, - (ST - 55)

    Long put: (55 - ST), 0

    Total: 55, 55

    The risk-free rate is: ($55/$54) - 1 = 0.0185

    =1.85%

    Therefore the payoff of the portfolio is $1.85%
