Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer :-

Dollar loss - $8,000

.

Explanations :-

Buying value at last price means settle price

Total buying Value =number of corn future contract ×  number of corn bushels × settle price

.

= 16 × 5000 × Settle quote /100

=16 × 5000 × 472.250/100

= 80,000 × 4.72250=

= $3,77,800

Total selling value= number of corn future contract ×  number of corn bushels × selling quote/100

=16 × 5000 × 462.25/100

=80,,000 × 4.6225

= $3,69,800

Dollar profit = Total selling value - Total buying value

=$3,69,800 - $3,77,800

= -$8,000

Dollar loss - $8,000

How do you think news of the tariffs would impact the implied convenience yield between short and long-maturity corn futures prices?
