    c. Profit of $7,000,000

    Explanation:

    the profit will be the difference between revenues and cost In this ase, the amount recieved for the shares and the actual amount paid for them.

    we receive 12.5 and we paid each one for 10.50:

    11.20 - 10.5 = 70 cents per share

    we multiply this by the 10,000,000 shares issued and we get a total of:
