    c. $1,093.75; profit

    Explanation:

    the second term stand for portion of the nearest 1/32

    this means : it was purchased at:

    102 + 0.01 x 12/32

    and sold at 103 + 0.01 x 15/32

    difference: 1 + 0.01 x 3/32

    $100,000 x (1 + 0.01 x 3/32) =

    100,000 x 0.0109375 = 1,093.75
