I recommend that you use Excel to do the regressions. (Note: demand for the two sizes of tire are independent from one another).

required to do so. Arbitrage between cash and futures will ensure that there will be no profit from delivering the CTD bond‚ but there will be a loss from delivering any other qualifying bond.
