© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-6 Derivatives (def.) Derivative is a name given to a broad range of financial securities. The derivative contract's value to the investor is –Directly related to fluctuations in price, rate or some other variable –That underlies it. Typical derivative instruments –Option contracts –Forward contracts –Futures contracts

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-7 2: Types of Derivatives Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transactions

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-8 Forward Contracts Forward contracts –Negotiated contracts between two parties –For the delivery or purchase of A commodity or A foreign currency –At an agreed upon price, quantity, and delivery date. Settlement of the forward contract may be –Physical delivery of the good, or –Net settlement

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-9 Futures Contracts Futures contracts are specific type of forward contracts –Characteristics are standardized –Characteristics are set by futures exchanges Rather than by the contracting parties –Exchange guarantees performance Settlement may also be made by entering another futures contract in the opposite direction

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-10 Options With options, only one party is obligated to perform The other party has –Ability, –But not obligation to perform

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-11 Using Derivatives as Hedges A hedge can –Shift risk of fluctuations in sales prices, costs, interest rates, currency exchange rates –Help manage costs –Reduce risks to improve financial position –Produce tax benefits –Help avoid bankruptcy

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-12 Hedge Accounting At inception, document the hedge –Relationship between hedged item and derivative instrument –Risk management objective and strategy for hedge Hedged instrument Hedged item Nature of risk being hedged Means of assessing effectiveness

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall : Hedge Effectiveness Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transactions

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-14 Effectiveness To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative instrument must be –Highly effective in offsetting –Gains or losses –In the item being hedged

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-15 Critical Term Analysis Effectiveness considers –Nature of the underlying variable –Notional amount –Item being hedged –Delivery date of derivative –Settlement date of the underlying If critical terms are identical, effectiveness is assumed

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-16 Example of Effectiveness Item to be hedged –Accounts payable –Due January 1, 2007 –For delivery of 10,000 euros –Variable is the changing value of euros Hedge instrument –Forward contract –To accept delivery of 10,000 euros –On January 1, 2007

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-17 Statistical Analysis If critical terms of item to be hedged and hedge instrument do not match Statistical analysis can determine effectiveness –Regression analysis –Correlation analysis Example –Using derivatives based on heating oil or crude oil to hedge jet fuel costs

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall : Cash Flow Hedges Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transactions

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-19 Cash Flow Hedge Hedges –Anticipated or forecasted transactions Hedges exposure to variability in expected future cash flows associated with a risk. Hedged risk –Variability in expected future cash flows

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-20 Accounting for Cash Flow Hedge Hedge instrument is recorded at cost Adjust to fair value Change in fair value is recorded as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) When the forecasted transaction impacts the income statement –Reclassify OCI to the hedged revenue or expense account

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-21 Cash Flow Hedge Example: Fuel Utility anticipates purchasing oil for sale to its customers next February. On Dec. 1 Utility enters a futures contract to acquire 4,200 gallons of oil at $ per gallon for delivery on Jan. 31. A margin of $10 is to be paid up front. On Dec. 31, the price for delivery of oil on Jan. 31 is $ On Jan. 31, the spot rate for current delivery is $ Utility settles the contract, accepting delivery of 4,200 gallons of oil.

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-22 Hedge: Fuel (cont.) In Feb. Utility sells all the oil to its customers for $8,400 and reclassifies its OCI from the hedge as cost of sales. Pertinent rates: Change in futures contract to Dec. 31 = $18.06 Change in futures contract to Jan. 31 = ($23.10) The loss on the contract is ($5.04) OCI, and this serves to increase the cost of sales. 12/112/311/31 Futures rate, for 1/31$1.4007$1.4050$ Cost of 4,200 barrels$5,882.94$5,901.00$5,877.90

Feb.Cash8, Sales 8, Feb.Cost of sales5, Inventory 5, Feb.Cost of sales5.04 OCI 5.04 Record the sale and cost of sales. The last entry reclassifies the loss on the contract from OCI into Cost of sales. The effect is to increase Cost of sales to $5, This is the cost of the oil based on the futures contract signed on Dec. 1.

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall12-30 Measurement and Denomination Measured in a currency –Recorded in the financial records in that currency Denominated in a currency –Requires settlement (payment or receipt) in that currency For US firms –US dollar is the measurement currency –Payables and receivables may be denominated in US dollars or other currencies
