John notes that some customers will walk into the hotel requesting a room for that evening and they are willing to pay a high fare of $325 per night. John knows this demand is variable.

D & R A1 10 - 6 Question 10. Minimum Variance Commodity Hedge Choc Full of Good Inc., a producer of powdered hot chocolate, has just received a large order that will require the purchase of 800 metric tons of cocoa in 3 months. The current spot price of cocoa is US $3,055 per metric ton. The standard deviation of the change in spot cocoa price is 0.2. Mr. Dulce, the CFO of Choc Full, is considering a minimum-variance hedge of this future cocoa purchase using the three-month cocoa futures contract. The contract size is 10 metric tons. The standard deviation of the change in cocoa futures price is 0.25. The covariance between the change in the spot and futures cocoa price is 0.035. The annually compounded interest rate faced by the company is 5%, the three-month storage cost is $2.5 per metric ton, and the convenience yield is $0.5 per metric ton. What is the estimated effectiveness of this minimum variance hedge?

To benefit from this blockbuster trade even further, Cuban plans to sell one-time-only special edition Porzingis jerseys at a price of $380 each during the first month of the season (i.e., during October 2019 only). The production cost for each of these jerseys would be $100 thanks to their golden details, and any unsold jersey during October will be sold for $80 during November 2019. Knowing the fan base for years, Cuban estimates demand for these special edition jerseys to follow a normal distribution with a mean of 10,000 units and a standard deviation of 2,000. partc. Cuban also plans to sell these special edition jerseys in his vacation resort.
