Answer:

-3.49%

Explanation:

Theoretical price (Ft) = $43

Current spot price (St) = $40.5

Storage cost (u) = 2%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 0.5%

T = 1 year

Let y = Convenience yield

Ft = St e^(Rf + u - y)T

43 = 40.5 e^(0.005 + 0.02 - y)

y = - 3.49%

Hence, convenience yield = -3.49%

olganol [36]

Answer:

Real rate of return = 0.94%

Explanation:

The relationship between the nominal rates of return, real rate of return and inflation is:

( 1+ nominal rate ) = ( 1+ real rate) *( 1 + inflation)

or, (1.07) = (1 + real rate) * (1.06)

Hence, the real rate of return is = (1.07)/(1.06) = (1 + real rate of return)

1.0094 = 1 + real rate of return

Real rate of return = 0.94%
