A US airline company will purchase 400,000 gallons of jet fuel after one month and the company wants to

do cross hedging using heating oil futures. The standard deviation of monthly changes in the spot price of

jet fuel is (in cents per gallon) 300; the standard deviation of monthly changes in the futures price for the

heating oil futures contract is (in cents per gallon) 407. The coefficient of correlation between the jet fuel

price changes and the futures price changes is 0.75. Each heating oil futures contract is for delivery of 2,000

gallons of heating oil. The current spot price of jet fuel is $1.55 per gallon and the futures price of heating oil is

$1.97 per gallon. What is the optimal number of contracts with tailing adjustment?

Question 1:

a. Your company is planning to borrow $2.5 million on a 3-year, 8%, annual payment, fully amortized term loan. What fraction of the payment made at the end of the second year will represent repayment of principal? Round your answer to two decimal places.

b. Assume that your aunt sold her house on December 31, and to help close the sale she took a second mortgage in the amount of $40,000 as part of the payment. The mortgage has a quoted (or nominal) interest rate of 10%, but it calls for payments every 6 months, beginning on June 30, and is to be amortized over 15 years. Now, 1 year later, your aunt must inform the IRS and the person who bought the house about the interest that was included in the two payments made during the year. (This interest will be income to your aunt and a deduction to the buyer of the house.) To the closest dollar, what is the total amount of interest that was paid during the first year?
