Answers to Questions 1 Derivative is the name given to a broad range of financial securities. Their common characteristic is that the derivative contracts value to the investor is directly related to fluctuations in price, rate, or some other variable that underlies it. Interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity prices and stock prices are common types of prices and rate risks that companies hedge. 2 edge accounting refers to accounting designed to record changes in the value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument in the same accounting period. This enhances transparency because the hedged item and hedging instrument accounting are linked. !rior to hedge accounting, the financial statement effect of the hedged item and hedging instrument "ere not linked. #ince companies enter into hedges to mitigate risks, the accounting should reflect the effect of this strategy and should clearly communicate the strategy. The accounting and footnote disclosures re$uired for derivatives attempt to do this. 3 %n option is a contract that allo"s the holder to buy or sell a security at a particular date. The holder is not obligated to buy or sell the security. They may allo" the contract to expire. Typically, the holder must pay an upfront fee to the "riter of the option. % for"ard contract and futures contract are similar because both sides of the contract are obligated to perform. % for"ard contract is negotiated bet"een t"o parties, they agree upon delivering a certain $uantity of goods or currency at a specific date in the future. &any allo" net settlement "hich means the '"inner( of the contract receives cash consideration for the difference bet"een the market price of the commodity and the contracted amount on the date the contract expires. The initial amount exchanged at the date the contract is entered into is negligible. % futures contract is traded on a market. The amount of commodity to be exchanged and the date of delivery are standardi)ed. The futures rate is determined by the market at the date the contract is entered into. These contracts are settled daily. 4 edge effectiveness involves assessing ho" "ell the hedge mitigates the gains or losses of the asset, liability and*or anticipated transaction that it is entered into to mitigate. The most common approaches to determining hedge effectiveness are critical term analysis and statistical analysis. +nder critical term analysis, the nature of the underlying variable, the notional amount of the derivative and the item being hedged, the delivery date of the derivative and the settlement date for the item being hedged are examined. If the critical terms of the derivative and the hedged item are identical, then an effective hedge is assumed. % statistical approach is used if critical terms dont match. ,ne such approach involves comparing the correlation bet"een changes in the price of the item being hedged and the derivative. -hile the F%#. does not specify a specific benchmark correlation coefficient, correlations of bet"een /01 and 2341 are considered to be highly effective. ,utside of these ranges, the hedge "ould not be considered highly effective. 5 +nder a firm purchase or sales commitment, if the hedge is considered to be effective, then it "ould $ualify as a fair value hedge. 12-2 Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transactions 6 % company that has an existing loan that involves a variable or floating interest rate enters into a pay5 fixed, receive variable s"ap. The company is s"apping its variable interest rate payments for fixed ones. These contracts are typically settled net. For example, if the fixed rate agreed upon is 201 for the term of the s"ap agreement and in one year the variable rate is 61, then the company "ith the variable rate loan must pay the difference in rates multiplied by the notional amount of the loan to the other party. If the variable rate is 231, then the company "ill receive the difference in rates multiplied by the notional amount of the loan. 7egardless of the movement in interest rates over the term of the s"ap, the company "ill pay the fixed rate, net. This type of s"ap is aimed at reducing the variability in cash flo"s related to the debt therefore it is designated as a cash flo" hedge. 7 % receive fixed, pay variable s"ap is entered into if a company has an existing loan that involves a fixed interest rate and desires to s"ap those fixed payments for variable payments. For example, a company has a loan "ith an /1 fixed rate and enters into a s"ap arrangement so that it "ill pay 8I.,7 9 21. If the variable rate for a year is 61, then the company "ill pay 21 multiplied by the notional amount as "ell as the /1 for the loan. Thus, the company has paid 61, the floating rate. If the variable rate is :1 ;41 8I.,7 9 21<, then the company "ill pay /1 on the loan, but "ill receive 31 related to the s"ap. Thus, the company "ill pay :1, the floating rate. This type of s"ap is aimed at reducing the variability in the fair value of the underlying loan therefore it is designated as a fair value hedge. 8 Fair value hedge accounting is used "hen the company is attempting to reduce the price risk of an existing asset*liability or firm purchase*sale commitment. Cash flo" hedge accounting is appropriate "hen the company is attempting to reduce the variability in cash flo"s thus it is appropriate "hen hedging anticipated purchases and sales. +nder certain circumstances, hedges of existing foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are accounted for as cash flo" hedges instead of fair value hedges. #ee $uestion 2/s solution for these cases. 9 % transaction is measured in a particular currency if its magnitude is expressed in that currency. %ssets and liabilities are denominated in a currency if their amounts are fixed in terms of that currency. 10 Direct $uotation= 2.30*2 > ?2.30 Indirect $uotation= 2*2.30 > ./@ euros per dollar 11 ,fficial or fixed rates are set by a government and do not change as a result of changes in "orld currency markets. Free or floating exchange rates are those that reflect fluctuating market prices for currency based on supply and demand factors in "orld currency markets. The +nited #tates changed from fixed to floating ;free< exchange rates in 26A2. .ut the +.#. dollar is sometimes described as a 'filthy float( because the +nited #tates has fre$uently engaged in currency transactions to support or "eaken the dollar against other currencies. #uch action is taken for economic reasons, such as to make +.#. goods more competitive in "orld markets. .oth Bapan and Cermany have engaged in currency transactions in an attempt to support the +.#. dollar. In February 26/A, the +nited #tates and six other industrial nations ;the Croup of A or C5A< entered the 8ouvre accord to cooperate on economic and monetary policies in support of agreed upon exchange rate levels. 12 #pot rates are the exchange rates for immediate delivery of currencies exchanged. The current rate for foreign currency transactions is the spot rate in effect for immediate settlement of the amounts denominated in foreign currency at the balance sheet date. istorical rates are the rates that "ere in effect on the date that a particular event or transaction occurred. #pot rates could be fixed rates if the currency "as a fixed rate currency as determined by the government issuing the currency. 13 The transaction is a foreign transaction because it involves import activities, but it is not a foreign currency transaction for the +.#. firm because it is denominated in local currency. It is a foreign currency transaction for the Bapanese company. 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 12 12-3 14 %t the transaction date, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into dollars by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date, and they are recorded at that amount. %t the balance sheet date, cash and amounts o"ed by or to the enterprise that are denominated in foreign currency are adDusted to reflect the current rate. %ssets carried at market "hose current market price is stated in a foreign currency are adDusted to the e$uivalent dollar market price at the balance sheet date. 15 Exchange gains and losses occur because of changes in the exchange rates bet"een the transaction date and the date of settlement. .oth exchange gains and exchange losses can occur in either foreign import activities or foreign export activities. The statement is erroneous. 16 Exchange gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in income in the period in "hich the exchange rate changes except for hedges of an identifiable foreign currency commitment "here deferral is possible if certain re$uirements are met. %lso hedges of a net investment in a foreign entity are treated as e$uity adDustments from translation. Intercompany foreign currency transactions of a long5term nature are also treated as e$uity adDustments. 17 There "ill be a ?30 exchange loss in the period of purchase and a ?20 exchange gain in the period of settlement= Billing date Purchases $1,450 ccounts pa!able "#c$ $1,450 Year-end adjustment E%change loss $ 20 ccounts pa!able "#c$ $ 20 Settlement date ccounts pa!able "#c$ $1,4&0 'ash $1,4(0 E%change gain 10 18 Cash flo" hedge accounting can be used "hen hedging recogni)ed currency denominated assets and liabilities if the variability of cash flo"s is completely eliminated by the hedge. This criterion is generally met if all of the critical terms of the hedged item and the hedge match such as the settlement date, currency type and currency amounts. If these dont match then it must be accounted for as a fair value hedge. The key difference bet"een this situation and the more general cash flo" hedge case is that an existing asset or liability is being accounted for here. +nder the more general case, the recognition of gains and losses is deferred because an anticipated transaction is being hedged. The foreign currency asset or liability is marked to fair value at year5end and the resulting gain or loss account is recogni)ed, ho"ever, the gain or loss is offset by reclassifying an e$ual amount from other comprehensive income. Thus, the asset and liability are marked to fair value, but no gain or loss related to that adDustment is included in current period income. The premium or discount related to the hedge contract is amorti)ed to income over the length of the contract using the effective interest method. For example, if a 200,000 euro foreign currency receivable due in :0 days is recorded at the spot rate of ?2.30*euro or ?230,000 and at the same date, a for"ard contract is entered into to deliver 200,000 euros in :0 days at a for"ard rate of ?2.2/, the company kno"s that it "ill lose ?3,000. This ?3,000 must be amorti)ed to income over the :0 day period. 19 International %ccounting #tandards Fo. @3 and @6 prescribe the accounting for derivatives. Their re$uirements are similar to #F%# Fo. 2@@ and 2@/ in terms of determining "hen hedge accounting can be used. The re$uirements for determining hedge effectiveness are very similar. .oth fair value and cash flo" hedge definitions and general re$uirements are similar. o"ever, under I%# @6, firm sale or purchase commitments can be accounted for as either fair value or cash flo" hedges "hich differs from the F%#. re$uirement that they must be accounted for as fair value hedges. 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 12-4 Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transactions 20 % for"ard contract of an anticipated foreign currency transaction is accounted for as a cash flo" hedge. The contract is marked to fair value at each financial date and the corresponding gain or loss is included in other comprehensive income. %ny premium or discount must be amorti)ed to income over the contract term using an effective interest rate method. The gain ;loss< credit ;debit< is offset by a debit ;credit< from other comprehensive income. -hen the anticipated transaction occurs and the for"ard contract is settled, the resulting other comprehensive income balance is amorti)ed to income in the same period as the underlying transaction is recogni)ed in income. 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 12 12-5 SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES Solution E12-1 1 a.
