<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to determine the fair price of a futures contract for the IDR (Rupiah) against the USD using lognormal distribution simulation. This result is compared with interest rate parity theorem. The first step of this study is to determine the values of the parameters which are optimized using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The parameters obtained in the form of the mean () and variance (). Further, parameters obtained are simulated using lognormal distribution to determine the exchange rate simulation (). Then price of future contract is also calculated using interest rate parity theorem. The price of the futures contracts () is determined by lognormal distribution simulated and price of interest rate futures contracts using parity theorem. The results of this study show that future contract price over the fair use lognormal distribution of 12.215 compared to the interest rate parity theorem which 12.400, with the initial contract price () of 12.185.]]>
