Questions 1:
There are two forward contracts, contract 1 and contract 2, on the same underlying. The underlying makes no cash payments, does not yield any nonfinancial benefits, and does not incur any storage costs. Contract 1 expires in one year, and contract 2 expires in two years. It is most likely that the price of contract 1:
A、 is equal to the price of contract 2.
B 、is less than the price of contract 2.
C 、exceeds the price of contract 2.
Questions 2:
For a forward contract with a value of zero, a situation where the spot price is above the forward price is best explained by high:
A 、interest rates.
B 、storage costs.
C 、convenience yield.
View answer resolution
【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct. The forward price is the spot price compounded at the risk-free rate over the life of the contract. Because contract 2 has the longer life, compounding will lead to a larger value.
A is incorrect. The price of contract 1 will be less than the price of contract 2.
C is incorrect. The price of contract 1 will be less than the price of contract 2.
【Answer to question 2】C
【analysis】
C is correct. If the convenience yield is high, holding the underlying confers large benefits, thus the spot price can exceed the forward price for a forward contract with a value of zero. Based on the formula
and an initial value Vt(0) of zero, large benefits γ explain why the spot price can exceed the forward price.
A is incorrect. High interest rates make the forward contract more valuable. Thus the forward rate is above the spot rate.
B is incorrect. High storage costs make the forward contract more valuable. Thus the forward rate is above the spot rate.
成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習。而人們經常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點擊了解>
