His basis forecast for the beginning of May is - $0.13. Therefore, he places the hedge on October 1st, and lifts the hedge and purchases corn on May 1st. Using the following prices, answer the associated questions: October 1st: Cash price = $7.50/bu July futures = $7.80/bu May 1st: Cash price = $6.35/bu July futures = $6.51/buQUESTION - Assuming the strike price is $7.80 with an option premium of $0.25, and the July basis forecast for May is -$0.13, the target ceiling price would be: HINT - if you did not choose "buy call options" in question #35, go back and change your answer. Indeed, you would "buy call options" to set a ceiling price.
