Fоr cоnvenience, the scenаriо is reproduced below: Scenаrio:You аre a purchasing agent at a large ethanol company. Corn is the primary input in ethanol production. It is currently October 1st, and you must make a large purchase of corn at a later date (May 1st). Thus the ethanol company is short cash corn on October 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/bu QUESTION - Assume that you indeed purchased call options with a strike price of $7.80 (premium = $0.25) on October 1st. Now, May 1st comes along. On May 1st you should ____ HINT - once again, if you did not choose "buy call options" in question #33, go back and change your answer. Indeed, you would "buy call options" to set a ceiling price.
