By the end of next July, he [will gradute / may have graduated] from university

By the end of next July, he --------- from university and ---------- working for his father's company.

A)will graduate / start
B)might graduate / starts
C)will be graduated / will start
D)may have graduated / started

I think the answer is (D) may have graduted. Is it common to use "may have V3" with a future time reference, as in this question. And secondly is (A) totally wrong? Thanks.
