Answer:

$1,014

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the producer

Using this formula

Effective price=Future price+(Spot price-Future price)

Let plug in the formula

Effective price=$1,015+($980+$981)

Effective price=$1,015+(-$1)

Effective price=$1,014

Therefore the effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the producer is $1,014
