Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the  June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.

The investor would borrow $60 today which would necessitate paying back $60 plus a half-year in interest payment.

loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50  

In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest

profit=$66-$61.50=$4.50

Which best describes the results provided by market research?
Troyanec [42]
<span>Market research tells producers what consumers want and what they're willing to pay.

Marketers perform market research so they can accurately determine who their audience is, what people will buy, how much they will buy and how much they will pay for it. Without conducing this research they could be spending money trying to reach the wrong audience. They could also have their product set too high or too low and potentially lose money/customers.
