15. eXAMple
Jewelry manufacturer Gold buyer agrees to buy gold at
Rs. 600 (the forward or delivery price) three months
from now (the delivery date) from gold mining concern
Gold seller. This is an example of a forward contract.
No money changes hands between Gold buyer and
Gold seller at the time the forward contract is created.
Rather, Gold buyer’s payoff depends on the spot price
at the time of delivery. Suppose that the spot price
reaches Rs. 610 at the delivery date. Then Gold buyer
gains Rs. 10 on his forward position (i.e. the difference
between the spot and forward prices) by taking
delivery of the gold at Rs. 600.

16. feAtures of forwArD
contrAct…
 It is a negotiated contract between two parties and hence
exposed to counter party risk.
 Each contract is custom designed and hence unique in
terms of contract size, expiration date, asset type, asset
quality etc.
 A contract has to be settled in delivery or cash on
expiration date.
 In case one of the two parties wishes to reverse a contract,
he has to compulsorily go to the other party. The counter
party being in a monopoly situation can command the
price he wants.

19. the stAnDArD feAture in Any
futures contrAct

contract, you know that the market lot, ie the minimum
quantity you can buy or sell, is 1,200 shares of Satyam,
the contract would expiry on March 28, 2002, the price is
quoted per share, the tick size is 5 paise per share or
(1200*0.05) = Rs60 per contract/ market lot, the contract
would be settled in cash and the closing price in the cash
market on expiry day would be the settlement price.
