forward premium and discount

forward premium/discount = (forward rate - spot rate)/(spot rate)*(360/term in days)

or

forward premium/discount = (forward rate - spot rate)/(spot rate)*(12/# of months)*100%

forward rate, spot rate: FC/DC
forward premium/discount > 0: premium (DC appreciates against FC.)
forward premium/discount < 0: discount (DC depreciates against FC.)
