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)

Answer: $1,031 million
Explanation:
Given that,
Retained earnings(2010) = $14,329 million
Retained earnings(2009) = $13,157 million
Net income(2010) = $2,203 million
Amount of dividends = Retained earnings(2009) + Net income(2010) - Retained earnings(2010)
= $13,157 million + $2,203 million - $14,329 million
= $1,031 million
Therefore, amount of dividends did Colgate-Palmolive pay to its shareholders in 2010 is $1,031 million.
