Imagine an investor who purchased a put option with a strike price of 100 for 10. The value of the underlying asset on the date when the option expires is equal to 85. What is the total payoff to the investor in such a case? Imagine that a single futures contract involves 1000 bushels of wheat. Consider a farmer who expects to harvest 1500 bushels of wheat on date T which coincidently happens to be the date of settlement of the futures contract. Assume that on date t<T the farmer engages in a futures contract that is valued at 9000 intending to reduce its exposure to risk. What is the total payoff to the farmer on date T if it turns out that the spot price in the wheat market on date T is equal to 15 per bushel.
