Answer: $5.78
For a European put on a non-dividend-paying stock, the lower bound is \[ p \ge \max\left(Ke^{-rT} - S_0,\ 0\right) \] Here: - \(S_0 = 24\) - \(K = 30\) - \(r = 3\%\) - \(T = 0.25\) years So, \[ 30e^{-0.03 \times 0.25} - 24 = 30e^{-0.0075} - 24 \approx 29.783 - 24 = 5.783 \] Therefore, the lower bound is approximately **$5.78**.
