Your answers are correct. Also, they are all future perfect, as you say. Any tense with the name "continuous" has an " ing" somewhere in the verb phrase.

It seems your book may have a misprint.

The perfect tenses always have a form of "to have" (have, has, had, will have)
The continuous tenses always have an "-ing".

Without "-ing" it can't be continuous. "will have become", etc., are not continuous tenses.


I will have gone. = Future perfect.

I will be going. = Future continuous.
