On May 1, 2011, Mosby Company received an order to sell a machine to a customer in Canada at a price of 2,000,000 Mexican pesos. The machine was shipped and payment was received on March 1, 2012. On May 1, 2011, Mosby purchased a put option giving it the right to sell 2,000,000 pesos on March 1, 2012 at a price of $190,000. Mosby properly designates the option as a fair value hedge of the peso firm commitment. The option cost $3,000 and had a fair value of $3,200 on December 31, 2011. The following spot exchange rates apply:

Mosby's incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent, and the present value factor for two months at a 12 percent annual rate is .9803.

D.

Explanation / Answer

The impact on Mosby's 2012 net income as a result of this fair value hedge of a firm commitment = Net Income will Increase by $9,940

..

Profit on Fair Value Hedge =  Fair Value of Hedge on March-1,2012 -  Fair Value of Hedge on Dec-31,2011

=[3200+(190,000-20,00,000*0.089)]- [3200 +(190,000-20,00,000*0.094)]

= $15,200 - $5,200

= $10,000

..

Interest on Option Premium for two months = $3000*12%*(2/12)

= $60

..

Net gain = $10,000-$60

= $9,940
