问题如下:
Suppose that the storage costs for crude oil are USD 2 per barrel per year payable at the beginning of the year. The current spot price is USD 75, and the two-year futures price is USD 72. The risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum (compounded annually). Estimate the convenience yield of crude oil per year.
选项:
解释:
The present value of the storage costs per barrel over two years is
2 + 2/ 1.08 = 3.85
The convenience yield Y is given by solving:
The solution is
that is, the convenience yield is about 13% per year.

问题:按照课程上和前面习题的答案,convenience yield就是我持有这个资产,能立刻投入生产给我带来的收益
这题我可以理解为是short position,我手上有spot,我要承担仓储费,我也可以获得convenience yield
所以为什么是除以(1+Y)^2,我可以获得这个convenience yield,难道不是乘以(1+Y)^2吗?(75+3.85)*(1+Y)^2,得不到的是减去或除以,得到的是加上或乘以
