You enter into a forward contract to receive WTI crude oil 6 months from today. The current price of a barrel of WTI is $44, the cost of storage for 6-months is $3.9, and the risk-free rate of return is 2% for 6 months. The cost of storage needs to be paid today. What will the maximum contracted price today be for the payment to be made 6-months from now for 1,000,000 barrel delivery? You will pay the counterparty the contracted price 6-months from now.

- Solar Hydro manufactures a revolutionary aeration system that combines coarse and fine bubble aeration components. This year (year 1) the cost for check valve components is $9,000. Based on closure of a new contract with a distributor in China and volume discounts, the company expects this cost to decrease.

As part of the refining process, a certain heat exchanger (operated at high temperatures and with abrasive material flowing through it) must be replaced every year. The replacement and downtime cost in the first year is $185,000. This cost is expected to increase due to inflation at a rate of 7% per year for five years (ie. until the EOY 6), at which time this particular heat exchanger will no longer be needed.
