On December 31, 2020 Beaver Inc. pruchased 1000 tractors for $15,000 each. And they have decided to but 3 year put otion to sell at $15000 each irrespective of the market price. That means on December 31, 2023 Beaver Inc. will sell 1000 tractors at $15,000 each irrespective of the market price at that time.

For subquestion A :-)

So on December 31,2021 the Beaver Inc. will make an entry of +$1000 per tractor for its put option as the current market price at that time is $14000 each.

That if they sell at the current market price of $14000 each, they will have surplus $1000 when they will sell at $15000 each at the end of 3 years put option sale contract.

For subquestion B :-)

So on December 31,2022 the Beaver Inc. will make an entry of +$3000 per tractor for its put option as the current market price at that time is $12000 each.

That if they sell at the current market price of $12000 each, they will have surplus $3000 when they will sell at $15000 each at the end of 3 years put option sale contract.
