Answer:

the cumulative mark to market is -$72,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cumulative mark to market is shown below:

Mark to market is

= (selling price - ending price) × ounces per contract × number of contracts

= ($1,690 per ounces - $1,770 per ounces) × 100 punces × 9

= -$72,000

hence, the cumulative mark to market is -$72,000

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
