You are a crude oil dealer. You intend to buy 100,000 barrels of crude oil in December 2022. Each contract calls for the delivery of 2,000 barrels of oil. The current futures price of one barrel of crude oil is $75. You believe that there are only five possible oil prices in December, which are $55, $65, $75, $85, and $95.

Explain what action you would take to protect from changes in oil prices in December. Provide reasons for your action.

Calculate the total revenue for each possible price in December.

Note: please show the total value of sales and total profit/loss for each market price in your answer.
