Problem:
Suppose you believe that Bennett Environmental's stock price is going to increase from its current level of $33.32 sometime during the next 7 months. For $284.00 you could buy a 7-month call option giving you the right to buy 100 shares at a price of $29 per share. If you bought a 100-share contract for $284.00 and Bennett's stock price actually changed to $31.22 at the end of seven months, your net profit (or loss) after behaving rationally on the decision to exercise the option would be ______? Show your answer to the .01. Use a - sign if you lose money on the contract.
