Given the information below.
Spot = R100
Risk-free rate = 10%
Maturity = 1 year
After 3 months the new spot price is R140. What will be the profit /loss to the long position in 3 months?
Given spot price = 100
Interest rate = 10%
For 3 months interest rate = 2.5%
Interest = 100 *2.5% = 2.5
Profit = 40 - 2.5 = 37.5
(140-100=40).
