Calculation Of Minimum Variance Hedge Ratio
Question
The following table gives data on daily changes in the spot price and futures price for a certain commodity:
∆S +5 +8 -2 +3 -5 +0 -2 +7 +3 +7
∆ F +2 +4 -1 +0 +1 -1 -7 +2 +5 +8
(a) Use the data to calculate a minimum variance hedge ratio for an investor who holds the commodity and plans to sell it soon. Ignore tailing adjustments to account for daily settlement.
(b) Evaluate how well a hedging strategy based on the minimum variance hedge ratio would have worked for each day of the 10-day period covered by the data, i.e. compute the value of your hedge for each of the ten days by adding losses/ gains from both the spot and futures positions.
(c) What is the cumulative gain/ loss over the 10 days?
(d) What is the daily standard deviation in your gain/ losses?
(e) What is the daily standard deviation without your hedge?
(f) What is the daily standard deviation if you use a (not optimal) hedge of 1 short position in the futures?
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it discusses about calculation of minimum variance hedge ratio for 10 days by adding losses/gains from both spot and futures positions.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was really struggling with the Networking engineering dissertation topic, my professor asked me to work on, in my last semester. Then I came across TheReliableTutor and they really have brilliant engineering dissertation and thesis writers. The experts have worked on my Engineering Questions since then and now I am in my 7th semester and still never got below grade A in any of my Electrical Engineering Assignments.

When I was assigned the case study analysis of integumentary system patient I had no clue as to where to reach out for help. Luckily I bumped into HwA and was astonished to find that they have specific integumentary system related section.
Hillary Smith Student
I was very impressed by the time and effort that was given by the economics assignment expert for my Keynesian Multiplier Model Assignment essay. He was available at any time of the day to help provide answers for any queries I might have had with the topic. He also never complained about any changes or inclusions that I would suggest. My experience with HwA has been definitely a lot better than the other online assignment help provider services.
Eric Chang Student
First impression leaves a very deep mark in somebody’s mind and my research proposal, written by one of the experts of HwA was the first impression which impressed my dissertation advisor in my college of Hamilton. After the research proposal I took further help in the actual research paper and got excellent grades.
William Cook Student
I had spent a lot on another online assignment service provider but their quality of work left a lot to be desired and most of the time I was having to redo the whole thing on my own. So I was ending up paying a bomb without getting any results. That is when my friend told me about the great quality and affordable prices of HwA. Once I gave it a try I knew I had hit gold! My grades improved a lot and I have also got a clearer understanding of the concepts of factor markets.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
