Can you explain how the 2/7 is derived for unexpired basis please?
Is the 2 because the future expires in feb so March and April are not covered by the future?
What months does the 7 relate to?
Thanks

The futures expire in December, which is 7 months from now.
The loan starts in 5 months time and so that is when the futures deal will be closed. There will therefore be 2 months unexpired.
I do suggest that you watch the free lectures on futures and options.

Hi John.
Why is the borrowing cost 136000 instead of 867000? Is it ok if I take 867000 borrowing cost in the exam?

The borrowing cost is 867,000. 136,000 is the extra cost.
It is fine to take 867000 provided obviously that you explain properly.
