2012 MOCK Q44 - QUICK Q future

Beatnik

Hey - cheers for all the help.
On these two (Q44/45) they calc the future value of the premium using libor + spread. In schweser it’s just libor which makes more sense. Why do they calc the future value using the spread?

Agreed. The opportunity cost has to factor in the firms borrowing cost. In all liklihood its going to be irrelevant because the impact of a few basis points on the option premium isn’t going to impact the calculated return materially.
