Pacifico Company, a U$.$S$.-$based importer of beer and wine, purchased $1,000$ cases of Oktoberfest$-$style beer from a German supplier for $50,000$ euros. Relevant U$.$S$.$ dollar exchange rates for the euro are as follows:

Date Spot Rate Forward Rate to October $15$ Call Option Premium for October $15($strike price $$1\mathrm{.}10)$

August $15$ $ $1\mathrm{.}10$ $ $1\mathrm{.}16$ $ $0\mathrm{.}05$

September $301\mathrm{.}151\mathrm{.}190\mathrm{.}06$

October $151\mathrm{.}181\mathrm{.}18($spot$)$ N$/$A

The company closes its books and prepares third$-$quarter financial statements on September $30.$

Assume that the company ordered the beer on August $15.$ The beer arrived and the company paid for it on October $15.$ On August $15,$ the company entered into a two$-$month forward contract to purchase $50,000$ euros. The company designated the forward contract as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the forward rate. Forward points are not excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness. Prepare journal entries to account for the foreign currency forward contract, foreign currency firm commitment, and import purchase.$\backslash$table$[[$No$,$Date,General Journal,Debit,Credit$],[1,\frac{08}{15},$No Journal Entry Required,$,,],[2,\frac{09}{30},$Forward Contract,$,,],[,,$Foreign Exchange Gain or Loss,$,,],[3,\frac{09}{30},$Foreign Exchange Gain or Loss,$,,],[,,$Firm Commitment,$,,],[4,\frac{10}{15},$Foreign Exchange Gain or Loss,$,,],[,,$Forward Contract,$,,],[5,\frac{10}{15},$Firm Commitment,$,,],[,,$Foreign Exchange Gain or Loss,$,,],[6,\frac{10}{15},$Foreign Currency $($euro$),,,],[,,$Cash,$,,],[,,$Forward Contract,$,,],[7,\frac{10}{15},$Inventory,$,,],[,,$Foreign Currency $($euro$),,,],[8,\frac{10}{15},$Cost of Goods Sold,$,,],[,,$Inventory,$,,],[9,\frac{10}{15},$Firm Commitment,$,,],[,,$Cost of Goods Sold,$,,]]$
