a. How much does your option cost per bushel of corn? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 5 decimal places, e.g.,32.16161.)
b. What is the total cost of your position? Assume each contract is for 5,000 bushels. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.,32.16.)
c. Suppose the price of corn is $3.31 per bushel at expiration of the option contract. What is your net profit or loss from this position? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a positive value rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g.,32.16.)
