Question 103

Essay

A U.S. company forecasts that it will receive £100,000 in sales revenue in 6 months. To lock in the dollar value of these revenues, on September 10, 2020, it enters a forward sale contract to deliver £100,000 to a broker at a rate of $1.325/£ on March 10, 2021. On March 10, 2021, the U.S. company receives £100,000 from customers, records the revenue as earned, and sells the currency using the forward contract. The U.S. company's accounting year ends December 31, and the forward qualifies as a cash flow hedge. Relevant exchange rates are:
