        correct. it is the present value of the contract expiration discounted back to the value of today’s offsetting contract (four months into the original contract).

          this will make much more sense to you once you get to derivatives too. Looks like you get it but youll see that discounting back to PV a lot more in SS 16.

              ahh wait, is it because they are computing the present value of the offsetting position in two months time using Libor -60??
