Contract 1 Contract 2 Contract 3 Contract 4 Contract 5 Apr. 15 value (down payment) $7 0 Delivery price on Sept. 1 $66 0 *******.. $75 Thus the payoff for the long party is S(T) - 66 $2 In other words, Contract 1 is fully specified. Based on that, you need to complete the other contracts. There is no need to show work. Use two (or more) decimal places. ......... ..... Today is April 15 (denoted "time 0").
