Furthermore, secured claims and administrative expense claims are paid ahead of unsecured claims. To make matters a bit more Â­confusing, Section 364(c)(1) provides that certain Â­super-priority claims are to be paid even Â­before administrative expense claims.
The market price of a commodity that is quoted in the news is often the market futures price for that respective commodity. As with equity securities, a commodities futures price is determined primarily by the supply and demand for the commodity in the market. For example, let's look at oil. If the supply of oil increases, the price of one barrel of oil will decrease.
Unlike the notional value, which determines the total value of a security based on its contract specification, the market value is the price of one unit of the security. For example, assume that the S&P 500 Index futures are trading at $2,000. The market value of one unit of the S&P 500 Index is $2,000. Conversely, the notional value of one S&P Index futures contract is $500,000 ($2,000*250) because one S&P Index futures contract leverages 250 units of the index.
