问题如下:
20 futures contracts are used to hedge an exposure to the price of soybeans. Each futures contract is on 5,000 bushels. At the time the hedge is closed out, the basis is 20 cents per bushel. What is the effect of the basis on the hedger if (a) the purchase of soybeans is being hedged and (b) the sale of soybeans is being hedged?
选项:
解释:
The basis increases the net price after hedging by 20 * 5,000 * USD 0.20 or USD 20,000. In (a) this is an extra cost to the hedger. In (b) it is an extra amount received from the sale of soybeans.
请教老师,这个题s大于f,basis是正的,long方roll yield是正,short方roll yield是负,和答案的理解相反,不知道错在哪里?
