Fair Value Hedge: Short in Interest Rate Futures On June 1, 2021, Domino Foods borrows $5 million in a floating rate term loan that rolls over every 91 days. The interest rate is set at the current Treasury bill rate plus 0.95 percent, and is payable at the end of each 91-day period. To hedge the risk that interest rates will increase, Domino sells $5 million face value 91-day Treasury bill futures at 98.5; the price reflects the current Treasury bill rate of 1.5 percent. The futures position requires a $6,000 margin deposit, and qualifies as an effective hedge of a firm commitment to roll over the floating rate loan. On August 30, 2021, the end of the 91-day period, the Treasury bill rate is 1.25 percent and the interest rate futures sell for 98.75. Domino rolls over the loan and closes its futures position. Domino is scheduled to roll the loan over again on November 29, 2021, but does not hedge during this second period. Assume that Domino is not required to pay additional cash to the broker to cover hedging losses before it closes its position. Required Prepare the entries necessary to record the above events.
