On January 1, 2021, Labtech Circuits borrowed $290,000 from First Bank by issuing a three-year, 9% note, payable on December 31, 2023. Labtech wanted to hedge the risk that general interest rates will decline, causing the fair value of its debt to increase. Therefore, Labtech entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2021, and designated the swap as a fair value hedge. The agreement called for the company to receive payment based on an 9% fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $290,000 and to pay interest based on a floating interest rate tied to LIBOR. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount on December 31 of each year. Floating (LIBOR) settlement rates were 9% at inception and 10%, 8%, and 8% at the end of 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. The fair values of the swap are quotes obtained from a derivatives dealer. These quotes and the fair values of the note are as follows:
| | January 1 | December 31 |
| | 2021 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
| Fair value of interest rate swap | | 0 | | $ | (3,659 | ) | $ | 2,835 | | $ | 0 | |
| Fair value of note payable | $ | 290,000 | | $ | 286,341 | | $ | 292,835 | | $ | 290,000 | |
