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.

- If the current risk free rate is 2.3% and a particular security (priced today at $45) pays no dividends what is the best estimate of the one year futures price of this asset?(use at least 3 decimals)arrow_forwardConsider a European put and a European call option which are both written on a non-dividend paying stock, have the same strike price K = £80 and expire in T = 2 months. These options are trading for p = £21 and c = £30.80, respectively. The underlying stock price is S0 = £90. The continuously compounded risk-free rate of interest is r = 10% per annum. What is the present value of the arbitrage profit? Please explain your answer and show your workings. In your response, please show all cash flows (both today and at expiration) and explain why this is an arbitrage (i.e. risk-less) profit.arrow_forwardGiven the following quotes: FBM KLCI spot = 747 points, risk-free rate = 4.5% annualised, FBM KLCI dividend yield = 1.75% annualised. i) If the 90-day KLCI futures is quoted at 762 points, show that arbitrage is possible ii) Calculate the arbitrage profit if FBM KLCI is 10% higher by futures maturity.arrow_forward
