118.2 - Illustrative Example - Hedge Accounting: CF Hedge

The processor purchased three call options on soybean meal to hedge against rising prices. The options had a strike price of $165 per ton and were purchased for $800 each when the spot price was also $165. Over time, the spot price rose while the strike price remained the same, increasing the fair value of the options. The entity entered into an interest rate swap to hedge variable interest receipts on a $10 million note. The swap involved receiving a fixed 7% rate and paying variable LIBOR + 1.25%. Over semi-annual periods, the variable rates reset and the fair value of the swap increased as interest rates declined.

2 – Illustrative Example – Hedge Accounting: CF Hedge


Cash Flow Hedge: Hedged Item – Forecasted Transaction; Hedging Instrument – Option

Assume that in March, a processor of cereals and other food forecasts a purchase of 300 tons of
soybean meal for June delivery. Concerned that prices may increase, the processor purchases three
at-the-money, June call options on March 10. On the Chicago Board of Trade (CBT), the options are
trading at $800 per option with a strike price of $165 per ton. Note that the option was trading at-the-
money, which means that the strike price ($165) and current spot price ($165) are equal and that the
option has no intrinsic value. The $800 paid for the option reflects time value. Each option is for a 100-
ton unit with delivery at a warehouse specified by the CBT and a settlement date of June 25.
Effectiveness of the hedge is measured by comparing rates for soybean meal. Therefore, the change
in time value of the option is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition to the
information given above, the following data are relevant to the hedging strategy:

March 10 March 31 April 30 May 31 June 25


Spot price per ton 165.00 167.00 164.00 172.00 178.00
Strike price per ton 165.00 165.00 165.00 165.00 165.00
Number of tons per option 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00
Fair value per option (given) 800.00 920.00 700.00 1,100.00 1,300.00

Cash Flow Hedge: Hedged Item – Variable Interest Notes Receivable; Hedging Instrument – Swap

Assume that on June 30, 20X1, an entity has lent $10,000,000 for 1.5 years with semi-annual interest
due based on a variable rate of LIBOR + 1% (100 basis points). On June 30, 20X1, concerned that
variable interest rates will decline, the entity enters into a swap to receive a fixed rate of 7% in return
for payment of a variable LIBOR + 1.25% (125 basis points) rate. The notional amount of the swap is
$10,000,000. At each semi-annual period, the swap is settled, and the variable rate is reset for the
following semi-annual interest payment.

Relevant values are as follows:

Receive LIBOR + 1% Pay LIBOR + 1.25%


Reset dates for Next Period for Next Period Fair Value of Swap
Jun 30, 20X1 6.75% 7.00%
Dec 31, 20X1 6.65% 6.90% 9,505.00
Jun 30, 20X2 6.35% 6.60% 19,361.00
