Given the risk free rate and the other available data, the decision would be to store corn for 3 months.

How to make to decison on storage

Expected return = 0.9%

expected spot price = $5.88

risk-free rate= 0.5%

monthly storage cost = 0.03

Formula for CAPM = r0 + (rm - rf) β

= 0.5% + (0.9%-0.5%)0.5%

= 0.7%

The expected return can be solved as:

5.5(1+r)³ = 5.88 - 0.03x3

[tex]=( \frac{5.79}{5.5} )^\frac{1}{3} -1[/tex]

= 0.17

The decision to be made here is that since the expected return is more than required rate of return, it would be best to store corn.
