问题如下:
Which of the following statements regarding the settlement of forward contracts is correct?
选项:
A.Contract settlement by cash has different economic effects from those of a settlement by delivery.
B.Non- deliverable forwards and contracts for differences have distinct settlement procedures.
At cash settlement, when the long party acquires the asset in the market, it effectively pays the forward price.
解释:
C is correct. In the case of cash settlement, the long can acquire the asset, effectively paying the forward price, F0(T). A is incorrect because forward contracts settled by cash or by delivery have the same economic effect. B is incorrect because both non- deliverable forwards and contracts for differences can settle by an exchange of cash.
C选项有点不太明白
- 当long的那一方需要asset的时候,这个asset是不是指的cash
- 现金交割不同于实物交割,现金交割是指交割cash,那为什么付的不是差价而是forward price。比如,老师上课说的买水,只有当实物交割的时候,才付3.5;现金交割,只需要出多出来的0.5就可以。为什么这里还是需要支付完整的forward price
