Problem-01a: Current crude oil price is $52.00 per barrel. You sell (short position) 5, five, crude oil futures contracts at futures price of $54.00 per barrel with maturity of one month. (Size of the contract is 5) Note that the size of one futures contract is 1,000 barrels. What is your profit if the crude oil price is $57.00 at maturity and assume cash settlement for this problem? ii. What is your profit if the crude oil price is $49.00...
