1,120,000 for
₱783,216 (₱1 : INR1.43). The option has a cost and fair value of

fair value of the option other than “intrinsic value” (e.g., time value,
impact of counterparty nonperformance risk) are excluded from the
assessment of effectiveness and will be reported in profit or loss as
they occur.

123. All of the following are characteristics of a derivative except:

generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market
factors.
b. Its value changes in response to the change in a specified

commodity price, foreign exchange rate, etc.).

that is smaller than would be required for other types of

date. (Adapted)

124. Is a derivative (e.g., an equity conversion option) that is


embedded in another contract (e.g., a convertible bond)
accounted for separately from that other contract?
a. Yes. PFRSs require all derivatives (both freestanding and
embedded) to be accounted for as derivatives.
b. No. PFRSs preclude entities from splitting financial
instruments and accounting for the components separately.
c. It depends. PFRSs require embedded derivatives to be
accounted for separately as derivatives if, and only if, the
entity has embedded the derivative in order to avoid
derivatives accounting and has no substantive business
purpose for embedding the derivative.
d. It depends. PFRSs require embedded derivatives to be
accounted for separately if, and only if, the economic
characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative and the
host contract are not closely related and the combined
contract is not measured at fair value with changes in fair
value recognized in profit or loss.
(Adapted)

125. Which of the following is not a condition for hedge accounting?


a. Formal designation and documentation of the hedging
relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and
strategy for undertaking the hedge at inception of the
hedging relationship.
b. The hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving
offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to
the hedged risk, the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably
measured, and the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis
and determined actually to have been effective.
c. For cash flow hedges, a forecast transaction must be highly
probable and must present an exposure to variations in cash
flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.
d. The hedge is expected to reduce the entity’s net exposure to
the hedged risk, and the hedge is determined actually to have
reduced the net entity-wide exposure to the hedged risk.
(Adapted)

126. What is the accounting treatment of the hedging instrument


and the hedged item under fair value hedge accounting?
a. The hedging instrument is measured at fair value, and the
hedged item is measured at fair value with respect to the
hedged risk. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or
loss.
b. The hedging instrument is measured at fair value, and the
hedged item is measured at fair value with respect to the
hedged risk. Changes in fair value are recognized directly in
equity to the extent the hedge is effective.
c. The hedging instrument is measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recognized directly in equity to the
extent the hedge is effective. The accounting for the hedged
item is not adjusted.
d. The hedging instrument is accounted for in accordance with
the accounting requirements for the hedged item (i.e., at fair
value, cost or amortized cost, as applicable), if the hedge is
effective.
(Adapted)

127. What is the accounting treatment of the hedging instrument


and the hedged item under cash flow hedge accounting?
a. The hedged item and hedging instrument are both measured
at fair value with respect to the hedged risk, and changes in
fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
b. The hedged item and hedging instrument are both measured
at fair value with respect to the hedged risk, and changes in
fair value are recognized directly in equity.
c. The hedging instrument is measured at fair value, with
changes in fair value recognized directly in equity to the
extent the hedge is effective. The accounting for the hedged
item is not adjusted.
d. The hedging instrument is accounted for in accordance with
the accounting requirements for the hedged item (i.e., at fair
value, cost or amortized cost, as applicable), if the hedge is
effective.
