问题如下:
Sheroda determined she was also
underweight in one individual stock. Thirty days ago, she entered a long 60-day
forward position on CHJ common stock, which does not pay a dividend. Sheroda
has asked Parisi to calculate the value of her two forward positions today—that
is, 30 days after the contracts were initiated. Parisi has collected the
information in Exhibit 1 to carry out the valuation assignment.
Exhibit
1: Selected Financial Information for Sheroda Meeting
Based on the information in Exhibit 1 and
assuming a 360-day year, the value of Sheroda’s forward contract on the CHJ
stock is closest to:
选项:
A.3.99 USD.
–3.98 USD.
C.
–4.29 USD.
解释:
B is
correct. The value of the forward contract is:
Vt(T) = PVt,T[Ft(T) – F0(T)]
=
e–0.0392(30/360)(96.31
– 100.30) = –3.98
这个题目中是个股的forward contract,非index,用continuoulsy compounded risk free rate折现。如果该题中给的是离散的rf, 是不是就应该用离散的rf来折现?而如果一个index forward contract, 如果题目中只给了离散的rf, 是不是也只能用离散的rf 而不能用e指数的形式 折现?
