Question:

Suppose the same facts as above, except Sunny Corporation has variable rate debt, with interest payments at LIBOR, and enters a receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap, with the annual fixed rate set at 4%. The swap changed in value by \($80,000\) as of June 30, 2016. How does Sunny record this change in value?

Sunny Corporation has \($1,000,000\) in fixed rate debt, with an annual interest rate of 4%, and interest payments due June 30 and December 31 of each year. On January 1, 2016, it entered a receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swap, where the variable rate is LIBOR. On January 1, 2016, LIBOR is 3.8%. On June 30, 2016, LIBOR declines to 3.5% and causes the variable rate to be reset at that time. The swap qualifies for hedge accounting.
