Monday : closing price = 30.80 per share

Tuesday : closing price = (30.80 + 1.20) = 32.00 per share

Wednesday : closing price = (32 - 0.0625 (32) = 32 - 2 = 30 per share

Thursday : closing price = (30 - 0.04 (30) = 30 - 1.20 = 28.80 per share

Friday : closing price = (28.80 + 0.025 (28.80) = 28.80 + 0.72 = 29.52 per share

so the net change from Mon. to Fri. is : (29.52 - 28.80) = + 0.72 per share <=
