There is a stock index futures contract maturing in one year. The riskfree rate of interest for borrowing is per annum with annualized compounding, and the corresponding riskfree rate for lending is per annum lower. Assume that you can reinvest all dividends received up to futures maturity and thereby receive index points at futures maturity. The current level of the stock index is index points. The bidask spread involved in trading the index basket of stocks is index points, and there are additional index points stock borrowing fees payable at maturity in case there is shortselling involved.
