Question 2
Correct

Mark 2.00 out of 2.00

On 11 January, WA Co., an Australian

company will receive Thai baht (THB) in March from a Thai importer. Therefore, it
sells a
futures contract specifying THB4 million and a March settlement date
(which is 23 March for this contract). On 11 January, the
futures contract is
priced at A$0.2613 per THB. On 10 February, WA Co. has received an email from the
Thai importer that the
order has been cancelled due to unavoidable
circumstances. Therefore, WA Co. no needs to sell a futures contract for THB in
March. It buys a futures contract on THB4 million with the March settlement
date to offset the contract it sold in January. At
this time, the futures
contract is priced at A$0.2612 per THB. Calculate the profit or loss in Australian
dollar (A$) (ignore the
