Answer:

$270

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the net profit or loss on this investment

Using this formula

Total profit/Loss =Stock value -Strike price-Option quoted)×100×Call option

Let plug in the formula

Total profit = ($34.60 - $32.50 - $1.65) × 100 × 6

Total profit =$0.45×100×6

Total profit= $270

Therefore the net profit on this investment is $270
