Please show working and formula in excel!
Solution: | ||
The value of one futures contract on index | 1,106 | |
Working Notes: | ||
The value of one futures contract on index | ||
Expecting pay dividend of $27 | ||
= stock index value x ( 1+ rate ) - Value of dividend | ||
= 1100 x ( 1+ 0.03) - 27 | ||
= 1133 - 27 | ||
=1,106 | ||
Notes: | Formula for stockindex paying dividend | |
Future value | ||
=S (1 + (r% x T/12)) - compounded valuee of dividends | ||
In Excel format | ||
A | B | |
1 | Value | |
2 | S= Stock index Value | 1100 |
3 | r% rate of risk free | 3% |
4 | T = time | 12 |
5 | compounded value of dividends | 27 |
6 | ||
7 | The value of one futures contract on index | 1106 |
Formula used in above tab wee get 1106 | =(B2*(1+B3*B4/12)-B5) | |
