Answer:

<u>Future Price</u>

F0: 126.89

F3: 113.13

F4: 113.41

<u>Value of the contract:</u>

a) zero (by definition)

b) -13

c) -13

Explanation:

<em>forward price:</em>

F = S (1+r)^{n}

being S the spot rate

time 9 months and

rate 2% <u>continuous componding</u>

As the rate is continuous we calculate using the e number instead:

F = S e^{rn} +cost

F = 125 e^{0.02 \times 9/12}

F = 125 x 1.015113065

F = 126.8891331 = 126.89

<u>3th month into the contract:</u>

F = 112 e^{0.02 \times 6/12}

F = 113.1256187 = 113.13

<u>4th month</u>

F = 112 e^{0.025 \times 5/12}

F = 113.4087866 = 113.41

<u>value of the contract</u>

at third month:

Vt = St - F0

Vt = 112 - 125 = -13

at fourth month

Vt = 112 - 125 = -13
