Answer:

The answer is 5000 future contracts

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company

Nowm,

The Required coverage = 500,000,000

The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000
