If they are willing to enter an agreement in November 2018 to purchase a million gallons of heating oil during the winter of 2019, their supplier will guarantee the price at $0.80 per gallon. However, if the winter is a mild one, Esquire would not be able to sell a million gallons unless they reduced their retail price and thereby increase the risk of a loss for the year.
