Trading of Marathon Petroleum (MPC) and ExxonMobil Oil (XOM)-Multiple Choice Question

Question

Consider the following oil prices:

ExxonMobil Oil (XOM)

$71.75/Bbl

Marathon Petroleum (MPC)

$73.06/Bbl

As an oil refiner, you are able to produce $76 worth of unleaded gasoline from one barrel of ExxonMobil Oil (XOM) crude oil.  Because of its lower sulfur content, you can produce $77 worth of unleaded gasoline from one barrel of Marathon Petroleum (MPC)crude.

Another oil refiner is offering to trade you 10,150 Bbls of ExxonMobil Oil (XOM)crude oil for 10,000 Bbls of Marathon Petroleum (MPC)crude oil. Assuming you currently have 10,000 Bbls of MPC crude, the added benefit (cost) to you if you take the trade is closest to:

A) ($1,400)

B) $1,400

C) ($3,908)

D) $3,908

    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
