question 64

True/False

Suppose the current spot price of corn is $20 a bushel. A corn farmer expects to produce 2,000 bushels at the end of the season, and she wants to ensure that she gets at least $18 per bushel. Call options on 1,000 bushels of corn with a strike price of $15 and an expiration date at the end of the season are selling for $3,000. By selling call options on her corn crop, the farmer can guarantee that she gets at least $18 per bushel.
