Explanation:
Computation for the value of one futures contract on the index
Using this formula
Futures contract =(Stock index value/(1+Risk-free rate)-Anticipated dividend
Let plug in the formula
Futures contract=$1,500/(1+0.0575) - $62
Futures contract=$1,500/(1.0575) - $62
Futures contract=$1,418.44 - $62
Futures contract=$1,356.44.
Therefore the value of one futures contract on the index will be $1,356.44.
