An investment bank engages in stock index arbitrage for its own and customer accounts. On a particular day, the S&P Index at the New York Stock Exchange is 602.25 when the futures contract for delivery in 90 days is 614.75. If the annualized 90-day interest rate is
8.00 percent and the (annualized) dividend yield is 3 percent, would program trading in- volving stock index arbitrage possibly take place? If so, describe the transactions that should be undertaken, and calculate the profit that would be made per each “share” of the S&P 500 Index used in the trade.
