a.
To compute: The maturity future price after 1 year if T-bill rate is 3% and expected dividend yield is 2%.
Introduction:
Future price: A price estimated for a financial transaction that is supposed to be occurring in the future is called future price. Sometimes we have to estimate the future price of a commodity that will occur on a future date. So, on that future day, the price estimated now will become the settlement price of future contracts.
b.
To compute: The value of maturity price if the T-bill rate is less than the dividend yield less than 1%.
Introduction:
Dividend yield: It is supposed to be the amount of money paid by the company to its shareholders. Normally, dividend yield is calculated for one year of investment and is represented in terms of percentages.

Check out a sample textbook solution- A stock is trading at $80 per share. The stock is expected to have a yearend dividend of $4 per share (D1 = $4), and it is expected to grow at some constant rate, g, throughout time. The stock’s required rate of return is 14% (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return). What is your forecast of gL?arrow_forwardCrisp Cookware’s common stock is expected to pay a dividend of $3 a share at the end of this year (D1 = $3.00); its beta is 0.8. The risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is 6%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate g, and the stock currently sells for $40 a share. Assuming the market is in equilibrium, what does the market believe will be the stock’s price at the end of 3 years (i.e., what is )?arrow_forwardThe S&P portfolio pays a dividend yield of 1% annually. Its current value is 1,300. The T-billrate is 4%. Suppose the S&P futures price for delivery in 1 year is 1,330.

- Suppose a stock is currently (time t = 0) worth 100. Further, suppose the one year annually compounded interest rate is 2%, and the two year annually compounded rate is 3%. Find the following:a) The forward price for a forward contract on the stock with maturity year T1 = 1. b) The forward price for a forward contract on the stock with maturity year T2 = 2.c) The forward price for a forward contract with maturity T1 = 1 on a ZCB with maturity T2 = 2.d) The forward price for a forward contract with maturity T1 = 1 on a forward contract on the stock with maturity T2 = 2 and delivery price K = 101.arrow_forwardThe S&P portfolio pays a dividend yield of 1% annually. Its current value is 2,000. The T-bill rate is 4%. Suppose the S&P futures price for delivery in 1 year is 2,050. Construct an arbitrage strategy to exploit the mispricing and show that your profits 1 year hence will equal the mispricing in the futures market.arrow_forwardThe one-year futures price on a particular stock - index portfolio is 1,124.91, the stock index currently is 1, 116, the one-year risk-free interest rate is 2.61%, and the year-end dividend that will be paid on a $1,116 investment in the index portfolio is $13.73.

The interest rate is 3%, and the future value of dividends expected to be paid over the next year is $35. The current index level is 2,000. Assume that you can short sell the S&P index.a. Suppose the expected rate of return on the market is 8%. What is the expected level of the index in one year?b.

- Suppose the 1-year futures price on a stock-index portfolio is 1,914, the stock index currently is 1,900, the 1-year risk-free interest rate is 3%, and the year-end dividend that will be paid on a $1,900 investment in the market index portfolio is $40.a. By how much is the contract mispriced?b. Formulate a zero-net-investment arbitrage portfolio and show that you can lock in riskless profits equal to the futures mispricing.c. Now assume (as is true for small investors) that if you short sell the stocks in the market index, the proceeds of the short sale are kept with the broker, and you do not receive any interest income on the funds. Is there still an arbitrage opportunity (assuming that you don’t already own the shares in the index)? Explain.d. Given the short-sale rules, what is the no-arbitrage band for the stock-futures price relation-ship? That is, given a stock index of 1,900, how high and how low can the futures price be without giving rise to arbitrage opportunities?arrow_forwardSuppose the ASX200 Index is currently at 7,406, the expected dividend yield on the index is 2 percent per year, and the risk-free rate is 0.35%.
