Answer:

$0.20

Explanation:

For computing the change in future price, first we have to determine the loss which is shown below:

Loss = Initial Margin - Maintenance Margin

        = $4,000 - $3,000

        = $1,000

Now the change in future price would be

= Loss ÷ size of the contract

= $1,000 ÷ 5,000 ounces

= $0.20

The future price is increased by $0.20

And, if the margin call is not meet than the broker will stop at best price so that he cannot suffer more loss
