I don't see how covered calls are relevant for hedging a long position as it does nothing to protect from downwards movements which is why you would hedge a long position.

Hello, thank you for your question. The cost basis is reported in the Open Positions section of your statements available in Client Portal and is calculated by multiplying the quantity and the cost price for each purchase separately. www.ibkr.com/faq?id=35807716 The cost basis of a security may change due to a corporate action such as stock split, spin-off, return of capital or a merger resulting in a change in share quantity. The cost basis will also change (increase) in the event of a wash sale. Other actions which can change the cost basis of your position include a dividend reinvestment or other addition to the share position (e.g., purchase or option exercise). www.ibkr.com/faq?id=50633504 We hope this helps.

Ok, it's there just to explain how you can make the put affordable. I'd have ordered the video differently.

if the call sold expires worthless, would the average cost basis I own the stock be lowered by the amount of the premium?
