    Payoff = $2 per share.

    Explanation:

    In a put option, the long (the party that buy the put) will have gain on the option when the underlying asset price is lower than the excercise price of that asset (imagine the advantage that you can sell a chicken at $12 when it market price of is is only 10).

    Because the stock price is $91, lower than exercise price of 93, so the company should exercise the put. Total payoff per share is 93 - 91 = $2.

    Note: We dont include premium to buy the put here because the question asking about payoff. We on include premium in calculations when the question is about profit.
