Suppose today is June 1^st, and a cereal manufacturer will need to purchase wheat on December 1^st. To hedge the price of wheat, the company plans to enter into a January futures contract today and close out its position on December 1^st. Suppose today the spot price is $71.82 and the January futures price is $74.73. Suppose on December 1^st the spot price turns out to be $73.98 and the January futures price turns out to be $74.11. After taking hedging into account, how much will the company effectively pay for the wheat? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not include $ sign.)
