Stock YMH is trading at $11.5 per share and is scheduled to pay a$0.115 dividend per share in six months. The effective 6-month interest rate is 1.5% and the YMH forward contract with 6-month maturity is-trading at $12.14 (the forward contract expires right after the dividend is paid). If you have $4600 now, but cannot borrow, what is the maximum riskless profit you can generate in six months (i.e., at maturity)?
