Question:

Muskoka Furniture Inc. (Muskoka) can also import custom pine furniture but it must be ordered several months in advance as it is only manufactured after a specific request is made. Assume that on September 1, 20X4, Muskoka orders custom bedroom furniture from a supplier in the United States for US$ 2,000. The invoice called for payment to be made on February 28, 20X5. On September 1, 20X4, Muskoka entered into a forward contract with a bank to hedge the commitment by agreeing to buy US$ 2,000 on February 28, 20X5, at a rate of US$ 1 C$ 1.13. Muskoka takes delivery of the furniture on November 1, 20X4 when the February 28, 20X5 forward rate is US$ 1 C$ 1.15. Muskoka’s year-end is December 31. On February 28, 20X5, Muskoka settled the forward contract with the bank and the US supplier was paid.
Spot rates were as follows:
September 1, 20X4...................... US$ 1 = C$ 1.11
November 1, 20X4...................... US$ 1 = C$ 1.14
December 31, 20X4....................... US$ 1 = C$ 1.16
February 28, 20X5...................... US$ 1 = C$ 1.19
The February 28, 20X5, forward rate on December 31, 20X4, was US$ 1 C$ 1.165.
