A manager sold an equity forward contract one month ago. The maturity of forward contract is three months. A dividend of $1 will be paid in one month before contract expiration. The annually compounded risk-free rate is 3%. The current spot price of underlying is $56, and the initial forward price is $60. The value of the manager’s position is:
选项:
A.-4.7026
B.4.7026
C.4.8512

画图(long方):
因为这一题的头寸是short方,所以value=4.7026
