View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Due to differences in the cost of carry, implied forward contracts will have different prices. The differences in the cost of carry stem from the timing differences of the payments.

A is incorrect. Differences in price are due to differences in the cost of carry. The price of the underlying at expiration is irrelevant for the price. It determines the value of the swap.

B is incorrect. The prices will be different due to differences in the cost of carry

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The value of a European put option will decrease as the risk-free interest rate increases.

B is incorrect. The value of a European put option will increase as the volatility of the underlying increases.

C is incorrect. The value of a European put option will increase as the value of the underlying decreases.
