Answer: 88.89 or 89
Explanation: Futures contract refers to a legal binding which obligates a buyer and seller to transact about a commodity, good, security or services at a predetermined price but goods are delivered or paid for in the future.
Given the following ;
Portfolio value(p) = $20million
Portfolio Beta (b) = 1.2
Index price (i) = 1080
Multiplier = 250
Future value(A) = index price × multiplier
Future value(A) = 1080 × 250 = 270000
Number of contracts (N) = (portfolio value × portfolio Beta) ÷ future value
N = ($20,000,000×1.2)÷270000
N = 24000000 ÷×270000
N = 88.8888=88.89
N = 89 (NEAREST whole number)
