When u do futures here,
This is wat I did—- Interest will be 34m*6/12*5.1%=867k
Then gain on futures is 34m* ((95.84-95.440)/400) = 34k
then net pay=833k
Is this correct??Question 2) here they asked us to do options as well and they have calculated the net borrowing cost under each strike price, but when u switch to Q2) of sept/dec 15 in the marking scheme they have calculated the total interest received?
here in this question u find the difference between the last interest and new interest and show the increased payments in the answer why is that?
August 21, 2016 at 5:37 am #334296No it is not correct.
The gain on the futures is 68,000 as per the answer.
(The borrowing is for 6 months and they are 3 month futures so you need 68 contracts, not 34).August 21, 2016 at 9:25 am #334315OKi as per yr lecture workings
I got that amount=== 68*1m* (95.84-95.440/400 )) = 68k gain but the interest cost is 867k
then net impact is wrong, in yr lecture workings u find the total interest to be paid plus the gain and gives net impact ryt?U havent answered my second question pls??
August 21, 2016 at 10:29 am #334326A gain is a receipt which reduces the net payment, a loss is a payment which increases the total payment. (And that is what I do in my lectures also)
Question 2: Because that is what the question asked for! The CEO specifically asked for the extra cost of borrowing, and you were asked to respond to the request.
