Calculation of Standard Deviation and Variance
Question
The following table gives data on daily changes in the spot price and futures price for a certain commodity:
ΔS +5 +8 -2 +3 -5 +0 -2 +7 +3 +7
ΔF +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 Statistics and it is about calculating variance in hedge ratio for an investor. The profit or loss has been calculated along with the standard deviation of profit and loss has also been calculated.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I have really benefited after taking help from HwA with my visual basic assignment solutions. The team here is excellent and during my course of VB programming, I got tremendous assistance. Starting from the basic concepts of classes and then window controls to web programming, I got help with each and every aspect of visual basic programming from HwA.

Honestly speaking, most of the online essay writing experts, available on the internet, are US based writers. So, naturally their perspectives are different than what we are being taught in our school. The variation in socio-political viewpoints makes critical impact in the arguments presented in an essay. Luckily, HwA has essay writing experts who have not only passed out from schools from New Zealand but also taught there. So, naturally they understood the need of the argumentative essay I needed, and delivered quality work.

I wouldn’t have been aware of the nitty-gritty of movie review if it was not for HwA. It all started when I took their help with the review of the 2010 movie, “Never let me go†and from then onwards during my entire scrip writing course I took help from experts of HwA to do my movie reviews and each time I got excellent grades.

Biochemistry was difficult to me right from the day I started to attend classes. I had problems in understanding the concepts. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and my perspective towards the subject has completely changed. Learning became more interesting than before. Thanks to thereliabletutor.com

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
