Mega Company believes the price of oil will increase in the coming months. Therefore, it decides to purchase call options on oil as a price-risk-hedging

Mega Company believes the price of oil will increase in the coming months. Therefore, it decides to purchase call options on oil as a price-risk-hedging device to hedge the expected increase in prices on an anticipated purchase of oil.

On November 30, 20X1, Mega purchases call options for 13,000 barrels of oil at $35 per barrel at a premium of $2 per barrel with a March 1, 20X2, call date. The following is the pricing information for the term of the call:

Date	Spot Price			Futures Price (for March 1, 20X2, delivery)
November 30, 20X1		$	35		$	36
December 31, 20X1			36			37
March 1, 20X2			38

The information for the change in the fair value of the options follows:

Date	Time Value			Intrinsic Value			Total Value
November 30, 20X1		$	26,000		$	0		$	26,000
December 31, 20X1			6,000			13,000			19,000
March 1, 20X2						39,000			39,000

On March 1, 20X2, Mega sells the options at their value on that date and acquires 13,000 barrels of oil at the spot price. On June 1, 20X2, Mega sells the oil for $39 per barrel.

b.	Prepare the adjusting journal entry required on December 31, 20X1, to record the change in time and intrinsic value of the options. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
