1a. Imagine that Money Air entered into a forward contract (forward price of $105) for half of their 2017 fuel needs and bought calls (strike of $120 and premium of $10). Produce the table and graph for the price per barrel the airlines will pay as a function of the 2017 spot price.
1b. Consider the payoff from the above structure (half of their fuel needs hedged with forwards and half hedged by purchasing calls) when they are financially settled. Produce a table and graph of this payoff per barrel
1c. The board asks you to explore an alternative. Money Air buys a call (strike of $120, premium of $10) and sells a call (strike of $140, premium of $5). Produce a table and graph of the payoff for this structured assuming it is financially settled.
