Angela Martinez, an energy sector analyst at an investment bank, is concerned about the future level of oil prices and how it might affect portfolio values. She is considering whether to recommend a hedge for the bank portfolio's exposure to changes in oil prices. Martinez examines West Texas Intermediate (WTI) monthly crude oil price data, expressed in US dollars per barrel, for the 181-month period from August 2000 through August 2015. The end-of-month WTI oil price was $51.16 in July 2015 and $42.86 in August 2015 (Month 181).After reviewing the time-series data, Martinez determines that the mean and variance of the time series of oil prices are not constant over time. She then runs the following four regressions using the WTI time-series data.Linear trend model: Oil pricet = b0 + b1t + etLog-linear trend model: In Oil pricet = b0 + b1t + etAR(1) model: Oil pricet = b0 + b1Oil pricet-1 + etAR(2) model: Oil pricet = b0 + b1Oil pricet-1 + b2Oil pricet-2 + etExhibit 1 presents selected data from all four regressions, and Exhibit 2 presents selected autocorrelation data from the AR(1) models.
Based on Exhibit 1, the predicted WTI oil price for October 2015 using the linear trend model is closest to:
Option A:$29.15.
Option B:$74.77.
Option C:$103.10.

Answer: C
