On the same day, the Dec 22' S&P 500 futures contracts closed out the day at 4,152.25. These contracts mature on Dec 30th 2022 and thus have exactly 5 months remaining until their maturity. The continuously compounded risk-free rate is 2.50% per annum. The yield on the S&P 500 with continuous compounding is 1.52% per annum. What trade do we need to put on to take advantage of this arbitrage opportunity? O A. There is NO arbitrage opportunity available here. The S&P 500 futures are perfectly priced in line with No Arbitrage. Thus, the right arbitrage trade is to do nothing. O B.

Data are collected on the net new money flowing into stock and bond mutual funds in the years 1985 to 2000, in billions of dollars. "Net" means that funds flowing out are subtracted from those flowing in. If more money leaves than arrives, the net flow will be negative. To eliminate the effect of inflation, all dollar amounts are in "real dollars" with constant buying power equal to that of a dollar in the year 2000.
