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 $107,000 per contract. It is July and the contracts must be closed out in December of this year. Long-term interest rates are currently 16.30 percent. If they increase to 17.50 percent, assume the value of the contracts will go down by 15 percent.
