问题如下:
A manager sold an equity forward contract one month ago. The maturity of forward contract is three months. A dividend of $1 will be paid in one month before contract expiration. The annually compounded risk-free rate is 3%. The current spot price of underlying is $56, and the initial forward price is $60. The value of the manager’s position is:
选项:
A.-4.7026
B.4.7026
C.4.8512
解释:
B is correct.
考点:equity forward contract求value
解析:
画图(long方):
因为这一题的头寸是short方,所以value=4.7026
这道题说的是manager在maturity之前sell the forward,也就是说他必须得最开始是long,中间才能offset呀。所以说根据manager的一系列操作画出来的图就应该是答案里展示的图,不明白为啥还要最终加个负号。怎么看他是short的一方还是long的一方,是看他最初的position还是看他中间执行操作时的position?
