The treasurer for Pittsburgh Iron Works wishes to use financial futures to hedge her interest rate exposure. She will sell five Treasury futures contracts at $143,000 per contract. It is July and the contracts must be closed out in December of this year. Long-term interest rates are currently 11.30 percent. If they increase to 12.50 percent, assume the value of the contracts will go down by 5 percent. Also if interest rates do increase by 1.2 percent, assume the firm will have additional interest expense on its business loans and other commitments of $46,000. This expense, of course, will be separate from the futures contracts.
