Calculation Of Correlation Between Spot And Future Price Changes
Question
The standard deviation (square root of variance) of monthly changes in the spot price of jet fuel is 16.5 cents per gallon. The standard deviation of monthly changes in the futures price of crude oil is $4.5 per barrel. There are 31.5 gallons in 1 barrel. The correlation between the spot and futures price changes is 0.87. It is now October 15. An airline plans to purchase 1,000,000 gallons of jet fuel on November 15 and wants to use the December crude oil futures contracts to hedge risks in the jet fuel price. Each futures contract is for delivery of 1,000 barrels of crude oil. How many futures positions does the airline have to take to minimize its exposure to jet fuel price fluctuations? Ignore tailing adjustments to account for daily settlement.
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it discusses about calculation of the correlation between spot and future price changes for jet fuel.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Writing dissertation was a big challenge for me, especially when the subject was pre-specified by my professor. However, when I came across HwA, I found that there are experts here who work exclusively on Canadian dissertation writing projects and got good results.

My balance sheet never tallied before I approached HwA for help. I always used to mess things up. My ideas regarding the items to be entered where shady and I needed serious help. The balance sheet experts of HwA were of a great help and now I have gained much confidence in the subject.
Julie Lee Student
After moving to Australia from the UK, I realised that the style of teaching is a bit different and so while pursuing my correspondence course in operations management I needed assistance. Luckily, I bumped into HwA online, who has an excellent pool of Australian operations management experts at their disposal. I got tremendously benefited by them.
Brain Newman Student
I was badly stuck with my tax credit assignment solution when I came across HwA. I was happily surprised to see that this website has taxation experts from New Zealand itself and that uplifted my confidence in this. The assignments all got good feedback and now as I am pursuing my PhD also, I seek constant help from them.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
