Answer:
b. Call for $1,500
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the amount of margin call by using following formula:-
Loss of today = future contracts based total bushels × total contract × (settlement cost per bushels - future contract price per bushels)
= 5,000 cents × 6 × (390 cents - 385 cents)
= 5,000 cents × 6 × 5 cents
= 150,000 cents
And we know that
100 cents = 1 dollar
so,
150,000 cents ÷ 100 =$1,500
Initial margin $878 per future contract and maintenance margin $650 per contract, Margins of both are less than loss .So we have to pay $1,500 in initial margin.
According to the analysis, we will receive $1,500 margin call.
Therefore option (B) call for $1,500 is correct.
