The Budvar Company sold parts to a foreign customer on December 1, Year 1, with a payment of 20,000 crowns to be received on March 1,
Year 2.
Budvar enters into a forward contract on December 1, Year 1, to sell 20,000 crowns on March 1, Year 2. Relevant exchange rates for the crown
on various dates are as follows:
Date Spot Rate Forward rate (March 1, Year 2)
December 1, Year 1 $1.00 $1.04
December 31, Year 1 $1.05 $1.10
March 1, Year 2 $1.12
Budvar’s incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent. The present value factor for two months at an interest rate of 12 percent (1 percent per
month) is 0.9803. Budvar must close its books and prepare financial statements on December 31.
Required:
a- Assuming that Budvar designates the forward contract as a cash flow hedge of a foreign currency receivable, prepare journal entries for
these transactions in U.S. dollars. What is the impact on year 1 net income? What is the impact on Year 2 net income? What is the impact
on net income over the two accounting periods?
b- Assuming that Budvar designates the forward contract as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency receivable, prepare journal entries for
these transactions in U.S. dollars. What is the impact on year 1 net income? What is the impact on Year 2 net income? What is the impact
on net income over the two accounting periods?

K20,000 x ($1.04 - $1.10) = $1,200 x 0.9803 = $-1,176.4, where 0.9803 is the present value factor for two months at an annual interest rate of
12 percent (1 percent per month) calculated as 1/1.012.
