问题如下:
Is the futures price of a non-dividend paying stock likely to be greater or less than the expected future stock price? Explain your argument.
解释:
The futures price is the spot price compounded forward at the risk-free rate. Most stocks can be expected to provide a return greater than the risk-free rate. Hence, the expected future stock price is greater than the forward price.
这里解答是不是有误?题目问future price和future price比,为什么解答变成了future price和forward price去比呢? 另外想问,这题的解答是不是说:对于支付股息的公司,future price应该=(S0)e(rf-rd)t次方
