Suppose that on 01-Feb-2024, a financial manager takes a long position in 200 Oil Future contracts that expire in June-2024 at a future price of
$95.00 per barrel. Each Oil Future contract calls for the delivery of 1,000 barrels. The initial Margin and Maintenance margins are 12% and 5% of
the initial face value of the contract, respectively, based on the number of contracts, the number of underlying assets per contract, and the future
price on the settlement date (200 x 1,000 x $95.00).
The manager holds the contract for 10 business days and needs to calculate their margin account balance for each day based on the provided daily
prices for the respective Oil Future contract per barrel. Additionally, determine whether a Margin Call has occurred and, if so, calculate the value
that the manager needs to deposit.
