Let’s Analyze –
Exercises. (ULO i) Getting acquainted with the essential terms in the study of Derivatives is not
enough, what also matters is your ability to analyze, solve and journalize transactions of a
problem situation. Now, I will require you to analyze, solve and journalize the following
transactions of these problems.
1. Exercise 1 On January 1, 20A Rode company received a 5-year variable interest rate loan
of 3,600,000 with interest payment at the end of each year and the principal to be repaid on
Dec. 31, 20E.
2
The interest rate for 20A is 8% and the rate in each succeeding year is equal to market
interest rate on January 1 of each year.
In connection with the loan, the entity entered into an interest rate swap agreement with
another financial institution.
The entity will receive a swap payment if the interest on January 1 is more than 8% and will
make a swap payment if the interest is less than 8%.
The swap payments are made at the end of the year. This interest rate swap agreement
was designated as a cash flow hedge.
On January 1, 20B, the market rate of interest is 9% and on January 1, 20C, the market rate
of interest is 6%.
Present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 9% for 4 periods 3.24
Present value of 1 an ordinary annuity of 1 at 6% for 3 periods 2.67
Required: Prepare journal entries for 20A and 20B in connection with the loan and the
interest rate swap agreement. Show all of the necessary solution.
Answer:
Cash 3,600,000

2. Exercise 2.On January 1, year 1Kyle Company borrowed 3,000,000 from Alpas bank at a
8% fixed interest rate.
The interest is to be paid annually on December 31 of each year and the principal to be
repaid on December 31, year 3. The loan is evidenced by a signed promissory note.
On January 1, year 1, the entity entered into a “receive fixed, pay variable” interest rate
swap with a speculator and has designated the swap as a fair value hedge of the fixed
interest rate loan.
The market rate of interest on January 1 of each year determines the interest swap
settlement to be made every December 31.
The present value of 1 at 10% for two periods is .8264; the present value of an ordinary
annuity of 1 at 10% for two periods is 1.7355 and the present value of 1 at 11% for one
period is 0.9009.

financial institution for the entity to purchase 80,000 kilos of tuna fish on January 31, 20B at
a price of 6,400,000 or 80 per kilo. The forward contract is designated as a cash flow

The market price of tuna fist per kilo is 78 on December 31, 20A and 75 on January 31 20B.
Required: Prepare journal entries for 20A and 20B.
Answer:
December 31, 2017 80-78=2(80,000)=160,000
Unrealized Loss – FC 160,000

4. Exercise 4 Gen Company requires 45,000 kilos of soya beans each month in the
manufacture of its product. To eliminate the price risk associated with the purchase of soya
beans on Dec. 1, 20A, the entity entered into a futures contract as a cash flow hedge to buy
45,000 kilos of soya beans at 150 per kilo on Feb. 1, 20B.
Required: Prepare journal entries for 20A and 20B assuming:
a. The market price per kilo of soya beans is 160 on Dec. 31, 20A and 165 on Feb 1, 20B.
b. The market price per kilo of soya beans is 160 on Dec. 31, 20A and on Feb 1, 20B is
145.
Answer: Case a
160-150=10*45,000 = 450,000
Futures Contract receivable - 450,000
Unrealized Gain – FC 450,000
Feb. 1, 20B
165-160 = 5 * 45,000 = 225,000
Futures contract receivable 225,000
Unrealized gain – FC 225,000
Cah 675,000
Futures contract rec. 675,000
Case B
Dec. 31, 20A
160-150=10*45,000 = 450,000
Futures Contract receivable - 450,000
Unrealized Gain – FC 450,000
Feb 1, 20B
160-145 = 15 * 45,000 = 675,000
Unrealized Gain – FC 450,000
Unrealized loss – FC 225,000
FC receivable 450,000
FC payable 225,000
Purchases 225,000

purchase of the raw material.
Answer:
Option 14,000
Cash 14,000
27-25 = 2 * 140,000 = 280,000 – 14,000=266,000
Call Option266,000
UG- Option 266,000
28-25=3 * 140,000 = 420,000-280,000=140,000
Call option 140,000
UG – option 140,000
Cash 420,000
Call option 420,000
UG – option 406,000
Purchases 406,000
