Answer: 9 points or $900

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Market price = $38.

Fall = $25.

Premium = $6.

When exercised, the customer must buy the stock for $40. But he goes ahead to sell the stock at $25 for a 15 point loss. Hence since 6 points was collected as the premium, the net loss is 9 points or $900. This means the customers loss is $900.
