Chocolate Company operates a seafood restaurant. On October 1, 2009, Chocolate determined that it will need to purchase 50,000 kilos of deluxe fish on March 1, 2010. Because of the volatile fluctuation in the price of deluxe fish, on October 1, 2009, Chocolate negotiated a forward contract with a reputable bank for Chocolate to purchase 50,000 kilos of deluxe fish onMarch 1, 2010 at a price of P50 per kilo or P2,500,000. This forward contract was designated as a cash flow hedge. The derivative forward contract provides that if the market price of deluxe fish on March 1, 2010 is more than P50, the difference is paid by the bank to Chocolate. On the other hand, if the market price on March 1, 2010 is less than P50, Chocolate will pay the difference to the bank. On December 31, 2009, the market price per kilo P60 and on March 1, 2010, the market price is .93. What is the fair value of the derivative asset or liability on December 31, 2010?
- A.
400,000 asset
- B.
400,000 liability
- C.
372,000 asset
- D.
372,000 liability
Correct Answer
A. 400,000 assetExplanation
The fair value of the derivative asset on December 31, 2010 is 400,000. This is because the market price of deluxe fish on March 1, 2010 was .93, which is less than the agreed price of P50 per kilo in the forward contract. As a result, Chocolate Company will pay the difference to the bank. Since the market price is lower than the agreed price, the derivative asset is considered valuable and is recorded as a 400,000 asset on December 31, 2010.Rate this question:

- B.
200,000
- C.

- D.
400,000
Correct Answer
D. 400,000Explanation
The Indian Company entered into a futures contract to buy soy beans at a fixed price of P150 per kilo. The market price on December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2010 is P160 per kilo. Since the market price is higher than the fixed price, the Indian Company has a derivative asset because it has the right to buy soy beans at a lower price. The derivative asset is calculated by multiplying the quantity of soy beans (40,000 kilos) by the difference between the market price and the fixed price (P160 - P150 = P10), and then discounting it to present value using the appropriate discount rate. Therefore, the correct answer is 400,000.Rate this question:

Nata Company entered into a grape juice concentrate futures contract to buy 50,000 pounds of concentrate on January 1, 2010 at a price of P50 per pound. The market price on December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2010 of the grape juice is P38 per pound. Since the market price is lower than the contract price, Nata Company will have a derivative liability on December 31, 2009. The derivative liability is calculated by multiplying the difference between the contract price and the market price by the discount rate. In this case, the derivative liability is (50,000 pounds x (P50 - P38) x 11%) = 600,000.Rate this question:

- C.

- D.
200,000 liability
Correct Answer
B. 125,000 liabilityExplanation
The fair value of the derivative asset or liability on December 31, 2009 can be determined by comparing the futures price (P50 per pound) with the market price per pound on that date (P45). Since the market price is lower than the futures price, the derivative would result in a liability for Tall Company. The liability would be calculated by multiplying the difference in price (P50 - P45 = P5) by the quantity needed (25,000 pounds), resulting in a liability of P125,000. Therefore, the correct answer is 125,000 liability.Rate this question:

Legacy Company shall recognize a gain on the call option in 2010 at 700,000. This is because the market price of cotton on July 1, 2010, is P35 per kilo, while the call option price is P30 per kilo. Therefore, the company can buy the cotton at a lower price than the market price, resulting in a gain of P5 per kilo. Since the company has a call option for 150,000 kilos of cotton, the total gain would be P5 per kilo multiplied by 150,000 kilos, which equals P750,000. However, since the company paid P50,000 for the call option, the net gain would be P750,000 minus P50,000, which equals P700,000.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 20,000Explanation
The loss on the call option in 2010 will be recognized as the difference between the purchase price and the market price of the raw material on July 1, 2010. Since the market price is P22 per unit and the purchase price is P25 per unit, the loss per unit is P3. Therefore, the total loss on the call option will be 200,000 units multiplied by P3 per unit, which equals P600,000. However, since the call option was designated as a cash flow hedge, the loss will be recognized in other comprehensive income. Therefore, the correct answer is P20,000, which is the amount paid for the call option.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 150,000Explanation
The gain on the foreign currency forward contract that will be recognized in the 2010 income statement is $150,000. This is because the forward contract was entered into to hedge the payable denominated in foreign currency. The exchange rate on December 31, 2009, is P46 to $1, which means that the payable has decreased in value compared to the forward contract. The difference between the forward contract rate of P45 to $1 and the spot rate of P46 to $1 results in a gain of $1 for each peso in the contract. Since the payable is P2,250,000, the gain on the forward contract is $1 x 2,250,000 = $150,000.Rate this question:
