    d. $6,500,000 dollars

    Explanation:

    Hedging is a strategy used by investment firms that want to minimize the risk of loosing their investments, so what they basically do is giving up the actions and investments and get some money in return, the exercise price is what they will pay you for your total investment, and the premium fee is somthing you have to pay to hedge an investment:

    So you multiply the 12.5 million by. 55 which is the amount you'll receive, and withdraw form that the premium:

    12,500,000x. 55=$6,875,000

    12,500,000x. 03=$375,000

    $6.875,000-$375,000 = $6,500,000

    The firm will receive $6,500,000 dollars.
