The relevant direct exchange rates for the euro follow:

Spot rate $0.95 $1.05 $0.98

The forward contract was for ?20,000, the agreed-upon cost of the inventory. The derivative is designated as a fair value hedge of the firm commitment.
Kiwi entered into a forward exchange contract on September 1, 2004, to be settled on February 1, 2005, to hedge a forecasted purchase of inventory on November 30, 2004. The inventory was purchased on November 30 with payment due on February 1, 2005. The forward contract was for ?20,000, the expected cost of the inventory. The derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge to be continued through to payment of the euro-denominated account payable.
Kiwi entered into a forward contract on November 30, 2004, to be settled on February 1, 2005, to manage the financial currency exposure of a euro-denominated accounts payable in the amount of ?20,000 from the purchase of inventory on that date. The payable is due on February 1, 2005. The forward contract is not designated as a hedge.
Kiwi entered into a forward contract on September 1, 2004, to speculate on the possible changes in exchange rates between the euro and the U.S. dollar between September 1, 2004, and February 1, 2005. The forward contract is for speculation purposes and is not a hedge.
