Hi for an assignment i need to create a delta neutral hedge over a two-week priod and record all transaction costs for the period. The assignment requires only one portfolio delta rebalance which i have done after 10 days. The 3420 stock in the transaction table below was purchased 6 months prior to the implementation of the hedge for 29.2 each.

I am having trouble working out all the transaction costs and my overall profit/loss during the hedge. This is what i have so far...

Buying 532 PUTS on 3/08/2020 nets my portfolio delta to zero. Buying an additional 3122 PUTS on the 14/08/2020 rebalances my portfolios delta back to zero.

On 19/08/2020 the options expire and i close all my positions, selling the 3420 stock.

Does this transaction table look correct for the 2-week hedge period? If not how should it look? Have i made any big mistakes? Here is the option DATA: image text in transcribed

Here is my portfolio inc delta with the rebalance on the 14/08/2020:
