31. A portfolio manager in charge of a portfolio worth $10 million is concerned that stock prices might decline rapidly during the next six months and would like to use options on an index to provide protection against the portfolio falling below $9.5 million. The index is currently standing at 500 and each contract is on 100 times the index. What position is required if the portfolio has a beta of 1

Rock Solid has a stock portfolio worth $250 million, which tracks closely with the S&P 500. The portfolio manager fears that a decline is coming and wants to completely hedge the value of the portfolio against any downside risk. With index options, the contract has a multiplier that determines the overall price. Usually, the multiplier is 100. 1) If the S&P is currently at 2,500 and a strike price of 2,400 corresponds to a premium of $400/contract, how is the hedging with options accomplished? 2) What happens if after one year, the S&P 500 is at 2,300?
