This paper examines the use of foreign currency derivatives by Samp;P 500 nonfinancial firms during 1992-1993 and the potential impact on exchange-rate risk. The extent to which firms use foreign currency derivatives is positively related to the ratios of foreign sales to total sales and total foreign trade to total production. Including these factors substantially reduces the explanatory power of variables previously found to be important in a firm's decision to hedge foreign currency exposure. Firms also use foreign debt as an alternative to or in conjunction with foreign currency derivatives, although to a smaller extent. Similarly, the level of foreign debt use is positively related to the ratio of foreign sales to total sales. Consistent with a risk-reduction motive to use foreign currency derivatives, we find that the use of foreign currency derivatives significantly reduces the exchange-rate risk that corporations face.

In addition, the following case study of the company named ABC using a protective put strategy in order to hedge its investment in BCA is explored in both situation of increase and decrease in share price in order to understand how companies manage risks. Even though options can be an effective tool that helps companies be successful in grow their firm values options can also become worthless due to a minor modification of share price.
In a large sample of East Asian nonfinancial corporations, firms using foreign currency derivatives had distinctive characteristics, such as larger size and foreign debt exposures. Unlike in studies of U.S. firms, there was only weak evidence that liquidity-constrained firms with greater growth opportunities hedged more. Firms appeared to use foreign earnings as a substitute for hedging with derivatives, and to engage in "selective" hedging. There was no evidence that East Asian firms eliminated their foreign exchange exposure by using derivatives. And firms using derivatives before the crisis performed just as poorly as nonhedgers during the crisis.
