Answer and Explanation:

If you buy 30 of the September corn futures contract at the closing price of 472.00(refer to the chart in picture attached)

Your total buying value = 30×472.250=14167.5

Since one month from now the corn futures contract is 464.5

Total value of your corn futures now= 30×464.5= 13935

Profit/loss=13935-14167.5= -232.5

Therefore you make a loss of $232.5
