a). F0 = Current Index Value * [1 + r - dividend yield]n
= 1,840 * [1 + 0.008 - 0.003]12 = 1,840 * 1.0617 = 1,953.49
In one month;
Future Price = Index Value in one month * [1 + r - dividend yield]n
= 1,860 * [1 + 0.008 - 0.003]11 = 1,860 * 1.0564 = 1,964.90
Change in Futures Price = F1 - F0 = 1,964.90 - 1,953.49 = 11.41
Cash Flow = Change in Futures Price * Multiplier = 11.41 * $70 = $798.64
b). HPR = Cash Flow / Initial Investment = $798.64 / $5,400 = 0.1479, or 14.79%
