2. To calculate how many contracts should you enter, first we need to calculate the number of contracts required to hedge the portofolio as follows:

number of contracts required to hedge the portofolio as follows=$250×1,286

number of contracts required to hedge the portofolio as follows=$321,500

Therefore, number of contracts to hedge= portfolio worth/Each contract worth

number of contracts to hedge=$13.800.000/$321,500

number of contracts to hedge=42

You should enter into 42 contracts

3. If you decide to reduce portfolio beta to 0.5 the index futures contracts should you enter into is calculated as follows:

number of contracts to hedge= (portfolio worth/Each contract worth)×beta

number of contracts to hedge=($13.800.000/$321,500)×0.5

number of contracts to hedge=21

You should enter into 21 contracts
