Question 4 Unsaved
On June 1, 2014, Dapple Industries purchases an option
contract for $5,000 on 10,000 gallons of aviation gas to minimize its
purchasing cost price exposure. At the time, the market price is $2.50 per
gallon and the option price of $2 per gallon will expire 6 months later. Dapple
can exercise the option at its discretion. When Dapple prepares quarterly
reports on June 30, Dapple is still holding the option. On June 30, the market
price of aviation gas is $4.50 per gallon. The option is to be settled net.
On August 1, Dapple exercises the option when the gas market
price is $5.00 per gallon and purchases 40,000 gallons of gas. On August 15,
Dapple uses all of the gas on a charter flight.
What are Dapple’s journal entries with regard to the
aviation gas option? Assume this is a cash flow hedge. Ignore the time value of
money.

Question 5 (16 points)

On November 1, 2013, Mayberry Corporation, a U.S.
corporation, purchased from Cantata Corporation, a Mexican company, some
machinery that cost 1,000,000 pesos. The invoice was payable in pesos on
January 30, 2014. To hedge against rapid changes in the peso, Mayberry entered
into a forward contract on November 1, 2013 with AB Trader & Company, a US
brokerage and investment firm. The contract specified that Mayberry would buy
1,000,000 pesos from AB Trader at $0.084 per peso for settlement on January 30,
2014.

Assume that all three companies are subject to the same
accounting standards and have December 31st year-ends. The spot rates for pesos
on November 1, December 31, and January 30, are $0.082, $0.080, and $0.089,
respectively. The 30-day forward rate for pesos on December 31, 2013 is $0.083.
The forward contract is not settled net.

Record General Journal entries for Mayberry Corporation on
November 1, December 31, and January 30. If no entry is required on a
particular date, indicate no entry in the General Journal. This is
a fair value hedge.
