Fаrmer Jоhnsоn hаs а crоp of grapefruit that will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000 pounds of grapefruit juice in 3 months. He decides to implement a hedging strategy to hedge against possible price changes of grapefruit juice at the selling time. There is no futures contract for grapefruit juice, but there is a futures contract for orange juice. Currently the spot prices are $1.20 per pound for orange juice and $1.50 per pound for grapefruit juice. The standard deviation of the prices of orange juice and grapefruit juice price are about 18% per year and 20% per year, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the two prices is 0.75. 1. (5 points) Explain what a minimum-variance hedging strategy is. 2. (10 points) What is the minimum-variance hedge strategy for Farmer Johnson? How effective is this hedge as compared to no hedge (Hint: use two hypothetical price scenarios of grapefruit 3 months later to compare the cashflow with hedge vs. without hedge.)?
