Answer:
sell 1.714
Explanation:
The computation of the number of contract buy or sold to hedge the position is shown below:
As we know that
Number of contracts = Hedge Ratio
Hedge Ratio = Change in Portfolio Value ÷ Profit on one future contract
where,
Change in the value of the portfolio is
For that we need to do following calculations
Expected Drop in Index is
= (1200 - 1400) ÷ 1400
= -14.29%
And, Expected Loss on the portfolio is
= Beta × Expected index drop
= 0.60 × (-14.29%)
= -8.57%
So, the change is
= 1000000 × (-8.57%)
= -$85,700
And, the profit is
= 200 × 250 multiplier
= 50,000
So, the hedging position is
= -$85,700 ÷ 50,000
= -1.714
This reflects the selling position

Answer: $10 per month
Explanation:
$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.
I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.
Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.
