Answer:

Explanation:

A:

Number of contracts required:

= (0-1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= -192

Since negative value, short 192 contracts.

B:

= (0.9 - 1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= -48

Since negative value, short 48 contracts.

C:

= (1.8 - 1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= 96

Since positive value, long 48 contracts.
