Explanation of Solution
A derivative instrument is a financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following features:
• Has one or more underlying provisions and one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both. These terms determine the settlement or settlement amount and, in some cases, whether a settlement is necessary or not.
• It involves no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than would be required for other types of contracts that would be forced to respond to changes in market factors in a similar way.
• Its terms allow or warrant net settlement, it can simply be net settled through means outside the deal or it allows for the distribution of an item that places the receiver in a role not substantially different from net settlement.
All derivatives must always be calculated and published at fair value on each interim and annual financial reporting date in the
Gains and losses on fair value hedges on different types of derivatives are expressed in the statement of income offsetting losses and gains on hedged trades.
If a derivative instrument qualifies as a fair value hedge, at each statement date, both the derivative and the asset or liability to which it relates shall be reported at fair value. In the derivative financial instrument, gains or losses on the hedged assets or liabilities are offset (in whole or in part) by losses or gains.

A futures contract is a deal to make a purchase or sale an asset at an agreed-upon price at a point in the future. Future contracts are streamlined, typically exchange-trading agreements. One partner agrees to purchase a specified set of securities or commodities, and take possession on a specific date.
A forward contract is a custom designed agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset on a future date at a specified price. For hedging or speculation a forward contract may be used, although its non-standardized nature makes it particularly suitable for hedging.
