What should the futures price for a four-month contract be


A stock index currently stands at 350. The risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum (with continuous compounding) and the dividend yield on the index is 4% per annum. What should the futures price for a four-month contract be?

Suppose one month later the stock price is 351. The dividend yield and index are the same. What is the value of the contract now?
