PRMIA Exam 8006 Topic 3 Question 100 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRMIA's 8006 exam
Question #: 100
Topic #: 3
[All 8006 Questions]

Which of the following best describes the efficient frontier?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is the index value times the contract size, in this case 1500 x 50.

One way to think about index futures is this: Consider equity index trading as trading in the shares of a company whose share price is equal to a number of dollars which is the same as the index. If the 'contract multiplier' for a index futures contract is 50, that means the futures contract is for 50 shares of such a fictitious company. Therefore the notional value of the contract will be 15000 x 50, and Choice 'a' is the correct answer.

I'll take option B - 200. Because why not? It's not like I'm going to actually use this information in the real world anyway.

I agree with Lili, the notional value is calculated by multiplying the index value by the contract multiplier, so it's A) 75000.

I think it's A) 75000 because you multiply the index value by the contract multiplier.

Who cares about the notional value? I just want to know if I can trade this contract using Robinhood. That's all that matters these days, right?

Hmm, this question is as easy as pie. The notional value is simply the index value times the contract multiplier. A no-brainer!

Wait, what? The contract multiplier is $50, so the notional value should be $50 times the index value of 1500, which is $75,000. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm going to go with option D - the index value itself. Seems logical to me.
