Solution

The initial value of a Eurodollar futures contract is calculated by subtracting the futures price from 100 and then multiplying by $1,000,000 (the face value of the contract).

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Subtract the futures price from 100: 100 - 92.55 = 7.45
  2. Multiply the result by 1,000,000:7.451,000,000: 7.45 * 1,000,000 = $7,450,000

However, none of the options provided match this result. Therefore, the correct answer is:

a. None of the options in this question are correct.
