Suppose that the current spot price of corn is $720 per bushel. The one year risk-free rate is 6% per annum. The futures price for delivery of one bushel of corn in one year’s time is $792 per bushel. Assume that net costs (storage costs minus convenience yield) are $15 per bushel (over the next one year). Is the futures contract correctly priced? If not, what is the theoretically correct price for the futures contract and how could you take advantage of any mispricing?
Please show full steps and explain.
