In 2020, a U.S. company issued a purchase order to a Singapore supplier for merchandise priced at S$1,000,000. At the time of the purchase order, the spot and relevant forward rate for Singapore dollars was $0.76. The company paid $3,000 for call options locking in the cost of S$1,000,000 at $760,000. The investment is a fair value hedge of the firm commitment to purchase the currency. All income effects of the purchase and the hedge are reported in cost of goods sold. At the end of the year, the spot rate was $0.80/S$, the relevant forward rate was $0.81/S$, and the call options had a market value of $41,000. In 2021, the options came due. The spot rate was $0.83/S$, and the company sold the options at their intrinsic value of $70,000. The company then took delivery of the merchandise and paid the supplier with Singapore dollars purchased on the spot market.
