Ответ:
a. $4,322.74
b. Yes
Explanation:
a. The computation of December futures is shown below:-
December futures = June futures × (1 + 1.9%)
= $1490.60 × (1 + 1.9%)
= $1490.60 × 2.9 %
= $4,322.74
Since the current interest rate is 3.8% and the contract is expired in 6 months so we half the interest rate i.e 1.9%
b. Yes, there is an arbitration opportunity here due to the difference between the future price of December. The real futures price for December is $1,500 and the potential price for December's parity relationship is $4,322.74
