Question

On June 1, Parker-Mae Corporation (a U.S.-based company) received an order to sell goods to a foreign customer at a price of 165,000 francs. Parker-Mae will ship the goods and receive payment in three months, on September 1. On June 1, Parker-Mae purchased an option to sell 165,000 francs in three months at a strike price of $1.04. The company designated the option as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment. The option's time value is excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness, and the change in time value is recognized in net income. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the spot rate (discounting to present value is ignored). Relevant exchange rates and option premiums for the franc are as follows:

 

Date Spot Rate Put Option Premium
for September 1
(strike price $1.04)
       
June 1 1.04 0.020        
June 30 0.98 0.072        
September 1 0.93 N/A        
             


Parker-Mae Corporation must close its books and prepare its second-quarter financial statements on June 30.
