Exercise A-9 (Algo) Derivatives; cash flow hedge; interest rate swap; shortcut method [LOA-3] On January 1, 2021, JPS Industries borrowed $240,000 from Austin Bank by issuing a three year, floating rate note based on LIBOR, with interest payable semi-annually on June 30 and December of each year. JPS entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2021, and designated the swap as a cash flow hedge. The intent was to hedge the risk that interest rates will rise, increasing its semi-annual interest payments. The swap agreement called for the company to receive payment based on a floating interest rate on a notional amount of $240,000 and to pay a 6,5% fixed interest rate. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount semi-annually, and the rate on each reset date (June 30 and December 31) determines the variable interest rate for the following six months. LIBOR rates in 2021 were 6.5% at January 1,5.5% at June 30, and 8.5% at December 31. The fair values of the swap on those dates, obtained by dealer quotes, were as follows: Swap fair value January 1 $ June 30 December 31 $(2,600) $3,800 Required: 1. Calculate the net settlement on June 30, 2021. 2. Prepare journal entries for the period January 1 to December 31, 2021, to record the note payable and hedging instrument, necessary adjustments for changes in fair value, and settlement of the swap contract
