You are an investor trying to value a gold mining company’s lease on a gold mine that is currently not operating. it would cost $1,000,000 for the company to reopen the mine, and it is expected to produce 100,000 ounces of gold at the end of next year. theforward contract price on a one-year gold forward contract is $268.40/ounce, and the current one-year risk-free rate is 5 percent. extraction costs are estimated to be $260/ounce.
a. assuming the per-ounce gold price in the spot market one year from now isforecasted to be either $300 or $230, calculate (1) the composition of a portfolio of t-bills and gold forward contracts that would replicate the cash flows from the mine, and (2) the "real options" value of the mine lease.
b. assuming the per-ounce gold price in the spot market one year from now is forecasted to be either $280 or $250, calculate (1) the composition of a portfolio of t-bills and gold forward contracts that would replicate the cash flows from the mine, and (2) the real options value of the mine lease.

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
