Icebreaker Company (a U.S.-based company) sells parts to a foreign customer on December 1, 2020, with payment of 30,000 dinars to be received on March 1, 2021. Icebreaker enters into a forward contract on December 1, 2020, to sell 30,000 dinars on March 1, 2021.

Relevant exchange rates for the dinar on various dates are as follows:

Date Spot Rate Forward Rate (to March 1, 2021)
December 1, 2020 $ 4.80 $ 4.875
December 31, 2020 4.90 5.000
