Forward exchange contract designated as a fair value hedge of a foreign-currency-denominated accounts receivable, weakening $US On October 15, 2018, our company sells to a retailer located in Austria 12,000 units of a product at a sales price of 35 per unit, and we require payment in Euros (). The exchange rate on the date of sale is $1.25:1, and the due date for payment is January 15, 2019.
