UGM June 2019 Q24

0. What is the one-month forward price of crude oil trading at $ 70 a barrel when the annual interest rate is 6 percent and monthly storage cost amounts to $ 0.60?

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : Assuming that the storage cost is paid at the end of the month, reverse cash and carry would produce the following cash flows at the end of a one month period:
    Sale proceeds of one barrel at spot price = $70.
    Plus one month interest earned at 6 percent on $70 = $0.35.
    Plus one month storage cost saved = $0.60.
    Thus the total cash flow at the end of one month from reverse cash and carry would be 70.00 + 0.35 + 0.60 = 70.95.
