问题如下:
Three months ago, an investor took a long position of a forward contract that expires in six months. The forward contract was priced at $50, with a quarterly dividend of $3, and a semi-annual cost of $4. The risk-free interest rate is 3%. Now the underlying price is $48, what is the value of this forward contract:
选项:
A.-$0.6392.
$0.6022.
-$1.0459.
解释:
T=6/12=0.5; T-t= 3/12 = 0.25; t=3/12=0.25; St=48.
求远期估值时,是用t时的即期价格减去FP折现到t时间。题目中已经告知了t时的即期价格48。为什么不直接用?
