Answer:

d. -$4,300.00

Explanation:

Calculation for What is your current profit or loss on this investment

Using this formula

Current profit or loss = Contract size*(Current price quote-Quoted price )

Let plug in the formula

Current profit or loss = 100 *($1,405.5-$1,448.5)

Current profit or loss = 100 *-$43

Current loss = -$4,300.00

Therefore your current loss on this investment will be -$4,300.00
