derivatives to hedge against potential losses. They could sell cocoa futures contracts,
which would allow them to lock in a specific price for their cocoa harvest in the
future, even if the market price drops. This would protect them from potential losses if
the price of cocoa does indeed decrease.
2. A company with a lot of fixed interest debt that expects interest rates to fall could
use interest rate futures and derivatives to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.
They could enter into an interest rate swap agreement, where they exchange their
fixed interest rate payments for floating interest rate payments. If interest rates do fall,
the company would benefit from lower interest payments. This would help them
manage their debt obligations more effectively.

months could use stock index futures or options to profit from the anticipated decline.
They could sell stock index futures contracts or buy put options on the stock index. If
the stock price does indeed fall, the value of the futures contracts or options would
increase, allowing the investor to sell them at a higher price and make a profit.
4. An investor who expects the price of a stock to rise in the next few weeks or
months could use stock index futures or options to capitalize on the anticipated
increase. They could buy stock index futures contracts or call options on the stock
index. If the stock price does indeed rise, the value of the futures contracts or options
would increase, allowing the investor to sell them at a higher price and make a profit.
