Suppose unleaded gasoline is currently trading at $3.00 per gallon. You face an interest rate of 5.00 percent and a carrying cost of $.03 per gallon per month. The current market price of a four-month futures contract on gasoline is $3.50 per gallon. You are evaluating a three-month carry trade opportunity.

a. Determine the present value of the storage costs (PVSC). (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

b. Identify what the futures price should be under spot-futures parity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

c. Calculate the potential profit per gallon. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
