    the change is a decline in value by $800

    Explanation:

    The Change in the value of the contract during the day is the difference between the price of purchase and the price at the end of the day grossed as a product by multiplying with the units purchased per contract.

    Value of change

    = ($.57 - $.59) * 40,000

    = - $.02 * 40,000

    = - $800

    There was a drop of $800.
