C 、its underlying is not an asset.

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Forward rate agreements, unlike most other forward contracts, do not have an asset as an underlying. Instead, the underlying is an interest rate.

A is incorrect. Forward rate agreements can also be closed out prior to maturity.

B is incorrect. Forward rate agreements do not involve an option component.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The pricing of forwards and futures will differ if futures prices and interest rates are negatively correlated. A negative correlation between futures prices and interest rates makes forwards more desirable than futures in the long position.

A is incorrect. If interest rates exhibit zero volatility, the pricing of forwards and futures will be identical.

C is incorrect. If futures prices and interest rates are uncorrelated, the pricing of forwards and futures will be identical.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無(wú)天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績(jī)，其成績(jī)背后無(wú)比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
