analyzing IKEA’s debt ratio against the industry and recommending how they can finance their operations.

Our next assignment is an “Executive Memo”.My part is to focus on the Financial Risk of IKEA. I have to recommend by analyzing, their debt ratio against the industry. How are they financing etc. In our group paper, we identify, Foreign currency fluctuations against the Euro(the Franchisor’s home country). I was looking at their Annual report and think that they are using Forward contracts for hedging. I am not sure “Forward Contract” is better than future or options (call or put)?
