-$0.55

Explanation:

The computation of the total profit on this investment is shown below:

Profit on investment = Premium received - (Exercise price - Market price)

= $0.25 - ($22.50 - $21.70)

= $0.25 - $0.80

= ($0.55)

Since as we can see that the per share value is negative so it would be loss on investment nor the profit on investment

We simply applied the above formula to find out the profit on investment
