HELP! FINAL (N) SFM -> FUTURES QUERRY

s (-) (216 Points)

06 January 2011  

I have a querry regarding the computation of e ^ x

[CA Final (New Syllabus), Strategic Financial Management, Valuation of Futures].

In calculation of Therotical Futures Price, we use the following formula:

TFP

TFP = Spot Price X e ^ (r x n)

How to Calculate the value of "e" without using Log - Antilog tables?

Another Question: Will the Institute give us "Log Tables"? If yes, They will be "Common Log Tables" or "Natural Log Tables"?

Thank You !
