Suppose the S&P is trading at a level of 1000. Using continuously compounded rates, calculate the futures price for a contract expiring in three months, assuming expected dividends to be 2% and the interest rate for futures funding to be 5% (both rates expressed as continuously compounded rates)
Correct Answer: C
Explanation The futures price of the contract will be the future value of the spot price, calculated at a net rate equal to the cost of funding the futures position, less any dividends or other distributions. Also note that when rates are continuously compounded, Future Value = Present Value x (exp(rate x time)). Therefore in this case the futures price for the S&P = 1000 * exp((5%-2%)*3/12) = 1007.53
