Answer: -$100

Explanation:

Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond

Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond

Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum

= 8% / 2 = 4%

3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.

= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)

= $1,020.342

= $1,020

Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020

= -$100
