Answer:

$725

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of call option = Call value * Number of shares in a contract

Where Call value = $7,25, Number of shares in the contract = 100

So, Price of call option = $7.25 * 100 shares

Price of call option = $725

So, the buyer would have to pay $725 for one call option contract assuming each contract is for 100 shares.
