Answer:

Gain of  $1,855    

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Actual Selling price = 76.12 cents per pound = $0.7612 per pound

Price at the closing = 72.41 cents per pound = $0.7241 per pound

The size of the contract = 50,000

Now,

The gain or loss = (Actual selling price - Price at closing ) × size of contract

= ( $0.7612 - $0.7241 ) × 50,000

= 0.0371 × 50,000

= $1,855          [positive value mean gain ]

Hence,

Gain of  $1,855

The corrective action that he should do is let Sasha and Maurice attend trainings for their weaknesses. <span />

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: Skilled Workers.
