Assume t F T2 = t F T1 (1 + T1 r T2 ) + T1 C T2 is the equilibrium situation. Also assume that

AssumetFT2=tFT1(1 +T1rT2) +T1CT2is the equilibrium situation.

Also assume that T2- T1is one year, thatT1CT2= $1 and thatT1rT2= 10%.

Assume the initial prices aretFoT1= 100 &tFoT2= 133.

A trader goes long the FT1contract and short the FT2contract believing these are not equilibrium prices and that he will profit when they adjust to equilibrium.

Say the next day, t + 1, thet+1FT1price moves to 115 andt+1FT2adjusts to an equilibrium price.

If the trader round trips his positions on day t+1, what is his profit or loss on the FT2position?

cannot be determined from the information given

profit of 11

profit of 5.5

loss of 11
