Use the information for the question(s) below.
| Alaska North Slope Crude Oil (ANS) | $71.75/Bbl |
| West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (WTI) | $73.06/Bbl |
As an oil refiner, you are able to produce $76 worth of unleaded gasoline from one barrel of Alaska North Slope (ANS) crude oil. Because of its lower sulfur content, you can produce $77 worth of unleaded gasoline from one barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude.
Another oil refiner is offering to trade you 10,150 Bbls of Alaska North Slope (ANS) crude oil for 10,000 Bbls of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. Assuming you just purchased 10,000 Bbls of WTI crude at the current market price, the total benefit (cost) to you if you take the trade is closest to:
◦ $730,600
◦ $770,000
◦ $771,400
◦ $773,908
