Answer:

Given that,

Operator bought a futures contract = 5,000 kilograms of rice at $1.50 per kilogram

Initial margin = $4,000

Maintenance margin = $2,000

(a)

(i) Balance of Margin = Initial margin - maintenance margin

                                  = $4,000 - $2,000

                                  = $2,000 (loss)

(ii) Change in price = \frac{2,000}{5,000}

                               = $0.40

(b) Price per kilogram = Current price - Change in Price

                                     = $1.50 - $0.40

                                     = $1.10

So, change price per kg is $1.10

(c) Balance of Margin = Initial margin - maintenance margin

                                  = $4,000 + $2,000

                                  = $6,000 (loss)

Change in price = \frac{2,000}{5,000}

                               = $0.40

(d) Price per kg = Current price - change in price

                          = $1.50 + $0.40

                          = $1.90
