On November 1, 2020, Cheng Company (a U.S.-based company) forecasts the purchase of goods from a foreign supplier for 100,000 yuan. Cheng expects to receive the goods on April 30, 2021, and make immediate payment. On November 1, 2020, Cheng enters into a six-month forward contract to buy 100,000 yuan. The company properly designates the forward contract as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency transaction. Forward points are excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness and are amortized to net income using a straight-line method on a monthly basis over the life of the contract. The following U.S. dollar–Yuan exchange rates apply:
