- A grain farmer has 200,000 bushels of corn in storage as of November 1st. For various reasons this grain farmer does not wish to sell until next spring. This farmer is also concerned about the price of grain dropping between now and next spring. The basis next spring is estimated to be $.40 under. On November 1st May futures are $4.25. 1. What is the estimated price if this person hedges? 2. If this person hedges would they buy or sell contracts? 3. How many contracts would be needed to hedge the entire crop? Assume on November 1st this farmer hedges the entire crop using May futures. Next spring the CBOT contracts are offset at $4.05 and the actual corn is sold for $3.65 per bushel at the local elevator. 4 What was the actual outcome? s. What would the outcome have been without the hedge?please help with this question 10. A soybean farmer plans to sell a portion of their crop in October. To set up a short hedge, the farmer purchases a put option with a strike price of 750/bu. at a premium of 30/bushel. In October, the soybean cash price is 640/bu. and November soybean futures are trading at 655/bu. Fill in the table given here to describe the actions this farmer will take in the cash & futures exchange to hedge, the gain/loss the manufacturer will experience in these markets, and the net price that the manufacturer will receive for soybeans. Futures & Options Markets Purchase a put option Time Period Spot Market June No action Strike Price = 750/bu. Premium 30/bu. October Gain/Loss Net PriceConsider a farmer who plans to sell 6,000 bushels of corns on date T. The date-T spot price of corn is normally distributed with mean $500 per bushel and standard deviation $50 per bushel. To hedge the price risk, the farmer considers shorting corn futures with delivery on date T. The futures price is $480 per bushel, and one contract is to deliver 5,000 bushels. In addition, the farmer can take only integer number of contracts (i.e, a fraction of contract such as 0.1 is NOT allowed). (a) How may contracts does the farmer need to take? (b) What is the mean of the total revenue? (c) What is the standard deviation of the total revenue?
- • Your firm is one of the largest bakery's in the area. As part of your risk management process, you are considering using options to hedge the price risk on your biggest input - wheat. You have determined that a price of R52/per ton would allow for you to keep the same profit margin as last year. The following wheat options offer a strike price of R50/per ton expiring in 1 month: • Call options on wheat are selling at a premium of RO.87 per ton. • Put options on wheat are selling for RO.72 per ton. • Given the information above, will you need need a call or a put option? • Ifeach option is for 100 tons, and you require 1000 tons of wheat, demonstrate the outcome if, at expiry, the spot price of wheat is (i) R40 per ton and (ii) R60 per ton. LNeed help. Instant upvote After collecting basis data, a canola grower feels that 775 dollars per tonne is a realistic forward cash price for the fall’s crop since November canola futures are trading at 800 dollars per tonne. To hedge, the producer purchases an at-the-money PUT for 20 dollars tonne on May 19th. While the hedge was in place, canola producers in Europe experienced crop failures and consumers in China began to import large quantities of canola produced in Canada. By October 15th, November canola futures had risen to 825 dollars per tonne. However, because of increased local production, the basis in the grower’s region weakened by 5 dollars tonne. On October 15th the grower sold his canola in the cash market. Use T-accounts to answer the following: a. What is the net selling price from hedging using the PUT? b. What price would the producer have received if he had hedged using futures?With a dry summer forecast, you expect that the soybean harvest will be smaller than normal and that soybean prices will rise. To speculate on this expectation, you buy 10 soybean futures contracts with a September maturity. The soybean futures price when you initiate the long position is $14.00 per bushel. By August the soybean futures price has risen to $16.00 per bushel. You execute an offset trade. What is your cumulative profit on the trades?
