请问这个跟yield curve flat 有什么关系

NO.PZ201601050100001702问题如下 Baseon Exhibit 1, the number of Treasury futures contracts Whitacre shoulsell to achieve Monetize’s objective with respeto Portfolio A is closest to: A.490.B.518.C.676. A is correct. Monetize wants to rePortfolio A’s mofieration to a target of 3.10. BPVT is calculatefollows:The basis point value of Portfolio A (BPVP) is $130,342.94, anthe basis point value of the cheapest-to-liver bon(BPVCT is $127.05 with a conversion factor of 0.72382. The basis point value hee ratio (BPVHR), whiprovis the number of futures contracts nee is then calculatefollows:Thus, to crease the mofieration of Portfolio A to 3.10, Whitacre shoulsell 490 Treasury bonfutures contracts中文解析本题考察的是使用债券期货合约调节组合的ration。根据题干信息可知，当前的目标ration是3.1，据此可以计算出BPVT =$44,402.54然后仍然带入公式 计算结果为-489.613，约等于490份，负号代表short。 我是把bpv拆成mr和marketvalue算的，算下来数量级不一样但是选对了，请问market value of futures是不是需要乘以contrasize呢
