Delmar holds 10,000 gallons of whiskey in inventory on October 31, 2013, that costs $225 per gallon. Delmar contemplates selling the whiskey on March 31, 2014. Uncertainty about the selling price of whiskey on March 31, 2014, leads Delmar to acquire a forward contract on whiskey. The forward contract does not require an initial investment. Delmar designates the forward commodity contract as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction. The forward price on October 31, 2013, for delivery on March 31, 2014, is$320 per gallon.

a. Let C be a regular plane closed convex curve C is simple, it determines, by the Jordan curve theorem, an interior region $K \subset R^{2}$. Prove that K is a convex set (i.e. given $p, q \in K,$ the segment of straight line $\overline{pq}$ is contained in K). b. Conversely, let C be a regular plane curve (not necessarily closed), and assume that C is the boundary of a convex region. Prove that C is convex.

Read the following information about the general rule of law in construction and complete questions 1 and 2.

The general rule of law is that strict performance of the duties of a contract is a condition precedent to recovery on the contract. If that rule were applied to construction, it would mean that owners could refuse to pay for work that did not meet minor quality standards of the contract. For reasons of fairness, building contracts are an exception to the general rule. In construction, there is the substantial performance doctrine, which says that if the performance nearly equals what was bargained for by the parties, then payment must be made. If the owner can use the work for the purpose that was intended, then the work will be deemed substantially complete, and the owner is obligated to make payment. However, it should be remembered that an owner is permitted to make a reasonable deduction for the cost of achieving full performance.

1. As a general rule, when must strict performance occur to recover on a contract? (A) before final payment is made (B) at the start of the construction job (C) at the conclusion of the job (D) prior to the conclusion of the contract

2. Why is strict performance defined differently in contracts dealing with construction? (A) to be fair to contractors (B) less contracts would be written (C) cost of construction would rise (D) owners would not be obligated to pay
