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
I was really very poor at drawing phase diagrams in my material science course. In fact that was the first time I looked for help from HwA. The result was fantastic. The material science experts knew what to deliver just after receiving the request and I didn’t have to worry since then.

Religion as a subject is quite sensitive and I needed my world religion assignments to be worded and structured in such a manner so that the analysis was objective and did not appear to be biased or insensitive. The assignment writers at TheReliableTutor.com understood my requirement and with their expertise in writing managed to provide the assignments exactly the way I wanted

I ordered my zoology assignments to these guys. First I was reluctant to pay them. However after the initial payment, they provided me a draft of work. I was indeed amazed with the work quality and I ordered for the rest.

I am pursuing my masters in finance management from one of the leading buisness schools in London. Even though I have a clear idea of most of the concepts of finance from my undergraduate days, I was still looking for some guidance and help with my finance homework. I had benefitted greatly during my undergraduate days from the online finance tutor at TheReliableTutor so I decided to contact them again and since then have not looked back. I have been getting finance assignment help and they have helped me a lot

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
