A

It is the possibilitiy or probability of failture to the power of how many years that is happening. E.g, risk of failture = 80%^4 then multiple that by the TERMINAL value. Subtract that answer from the terminal value to get the new one.

Or just change the discount rate

Low

Insurance theory = Farmers/hedgers want to lock in a price today
Storage theory = Cost of storage and benefit of convenience yield stipulate future price

67
Q

If the storage cost is high, is the market in backwardation or contango

A

Contango

68
Q

If the convenience yield goes up heaps, is it more likley the market is in backwardation or contango

A

Backwardation

69
Q

Explain backwardation and contango

A

Backwardation is the spot price is higher than the future price, contango is the spot price is lower

70
Q

If there were a heap of hedgers in the market, would the market be in backwardation or contango

A

Backwardation. More hedgers = more farmers wanting to lock in future price. More future contracts in supply = lower price. Lower f relative to s = backwardation

71
Q

Explain what convenience yield is

A

Convenience yield is the non-monetary benefit of holding an asset. Like, since i hold some cool commodity, like a baseball card, holding it has some sort of value to me, so that would decrease the future price, as the other party does not get to enjoy that.

Yes they do mate

A

Low, therefore the market will be in backwardation

75
Q

Formula for roll return

A

Change in future - Change in spot OR Future near - Future far / Future near

76
Q

Which is the most expensive route of exit strategy in PE

IPO`
