Problem 2. Assume continuous time for any calculation (Use 4 decimal places) (Years of 365 days) You want to value 1 forward contract to 240 days on a share that is listed on the BMV It is expected to pay dividends as shown in the table:

Price
Share VALUEGFO 75.23 6 102
t=0 t=30 t=60 t=90 t=120 t=150 t=180 t=210 t=240 t=270
Dividends 0 0.7523 0 0 0.7523 0 2.2569 0 0 1.5046

and where the curves of interest behave as follows:

t=0 t=30 t=60 t=90 t=120 t=150 t=180 t=210 t=240 t=270
TLR (USD) 4.5% 3.8% 5.0% 5.0% 5.0% 5.5% 5.5% 5.5% 5.5% 6.0%
TLR (MXP) 7.5% 6.8% 8.0% 8.0% 8.0% 8.5% 8.5% 8.5% 8.5% 9.0%
