1. Futures and marking to market. a) Suppose that on Day 1 you buy a long futures contract for 10,000 won, at the price of P(0)=2 dollars per won. The initial performance bond is 3000$ and the maintenance bond is 2000$. At the close of day 1, the price rises to POY=.23. What is the gain/loss for the day? Do you have to pay anything into the account, and if so how much? b) Assuming you've continued the contract, by the end of Day 2, the price falls to P(1)=.15. What is the gain/loss for the day? Do you have to pay anything into the account and if so how much? c) Why are Futures contracts marked-to-market? 2. Options a) Suppose a call option for the value of 100,000 dinars has a premium of .05 dollars per dinar, and a strike price of .5 dollars per dinar. Illustrate the value of buying this option as a function of the future exchange rate. Label the break-even point and the point at which the buyer of this option will strike it. b) Suppose a put option for the value of 100,000 dinars has a premium of .025 dollars per dinar and a strike price of .5 dollars per dinar. Illustrate the value of buying this option as a function of the future exchange rate. Label the break-even point and the point at which the buyer of this option will strike it. c) If the interest rate on American assets is .1=10%, what is the forward rate for dollars and dinars, based on the premiums and strike price of the two options listed above? 3.
