Suppose you buy a December futures contract on a hypothetical 10-year, 6% semiannualcoupon note with a settlement price today of 125-060. You post the initialmargin required for this transaction ($1,430 per $100,000 contract). What nominalannual yield to maturity is implied by the settlement price? If interest rates fall to2.4%, what return would you earn on one futures contract? If interest rates rose to3.2%, what is the return on one futures contract?
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?
