You were just notified that you will receive 100000 in two


Question: You were just notified that you will receive $100,000 in two months from the estate of a deceased relative. You want to invest this money in safe, interest-bearing instruments, so you decide to purchase five-year Treasury notes. You believe, however, that interest rates are headed down, and you will have to pay a lot more in two months than you would today for five-year Treasury notes. You decide to look into futures and find a quote of 111'08 for five-year Treasuries deliverable in two months (contracts trade in $100,000units). What does the quote mean in terms of price, and how many contracts will you need to buy? How much money will you need to buy the contract, and how much will you need to settle the contract?
