On january 1, you sold one february maturity s& p 500 index futures contract at a futures price of 2,422. if the futures price is 2,505 at contract maturity, what is your profit? the contract multiplier is $50. (input the amount as positive value.)

The loss will be $4,150.

Explanation:

As the investor sold S&P 500 futures contract, the investor has taken a short position in S&P 500 indexes.

At time of maturity, because the S&P index is higher than the future price ( 2,505 >2,422), the Investor has made a loss from the future contract.

The loss from the future contract is calculated as:

( S&P index at future maturity - S&P future price ) x contract multiplier = ( 2,422 - 2,505) x 50 = $(4,150)

Thus, the loss is $4,150.
