Expert Solution

It is a case of call option

If price on expiry is greater than strike price, call will be exercised.

Here,

Strike price =32

Premium paid =0.85

Now price on expiry = 33.65

Which is higher than strike price, so call will be exercised.

Payoff = price on expiry- strike price

Payoff = 33.65 - 32 = 1.65

Profit = Profit - premium paid = 1.65 -0.85 =0.80

Answer : exercise with a profit of 0.80 per share. [Thumbs up please]
