On January 15 of Year 1, a company decides to hedge the sale of
100,000 bushels of corn on February 15 of Year 2. The following table gives
futures prices (cents per bushel) of three selected contracts on four different
dates. Explain how the company can use the contracts to create the required
hedge. What is the net (after hedging) price received for the corn as a
function of the spot price on February 15 of Year 2? Each corn contract is on
5,000 bushels.
解释:
The company should short 20 May contracts on January 15 of Year 1
and close them out by buying 20 May contracts on April 15 of Year 1. It should
short 20 September contracts on April 15 of Year 1 and close them out by buying
20 September contracts on August 15 of Year 1. It should short 20 March
contracts on August 15 of Year 1 and close them out on February 15 of Year 2.
The gain on the short positions in cents per bushel is
(300 -320)+ (330- 320)+ (325- 300)= 15
The price received is therefore S + 15 cents
per bushel, where S is the spot price on February 15 of Year 2. In total, the
price realized in USD is 100,000(S+15).
这个题目为什么是15? 应该是-15吧?
