LO235. Forward exchange contract designated as a fair value hedge of a foreign-currency-denominated accounts receivable, strengthening $US On November 15, 2018, our company sells to a retailer located in Belgium 20,000 units of a product at a sales price of 36 per unit, and we require payment in Euros (). The exchange rate on the date of sale is $1.38:1, and the due date for payment is February 15, 2019. To mitigate the risk of exchange rate fluctuations between the sale date and the collection date, on November 15, 2018, our company enters into a forward contract with an exchange broker. The contract obligates our company to deliver 720,000 on February 15, 2019, while we lock in the SUS we will receive on that date at the forward rate of $1.29:1 (i.e., the forward rate on November 15, 2018, for settlement on February 15, 2019). As- sume this derivative qualifies as a fair value hedge, and our company's functional currency and report- ing currency is the $US. The following table includes the spot rates, forward rates, and related values of the accounts receivable and forward contract on November 15, 2018, December 31, 2018, and February 15, 2019.
