Part II

Assume that Maple used forward contracts to manage the foreign currency risks of all of its export and import transactions during 20X5.

1.	On March 1, 20X5, Maple, anticipating a weaker Canadian dollar on the May 30, 20X5, settlement date, entered into a 90-day forward contract to sell C$47,000 at a forward exchange rate of C$1 = $0.64. The forward contract was not designated as a hedge.
2.	On July 1, 20X5, Maple, anticipating a strengthening of the yen on the October 29, 20X5, settlement date, entered into a 120-day forward contract to purchase 430,000 at a forward exchange rate of 1 = $0.105. The forward contract was designated as a fair value hedge of a firm commitment.
3.	On November 16, 20X5, Maple, anticipating a strengthening of the pound on the January 15, 20X6, settlement date, entered into a 60-day undesignated forward exchange contract to purchase 27,000 at a forward exchange rate of 1 = $1.67.
