A Company Has a Soybean Inventory Carried at Cost, $800,000

Essay

A company has a soybean inventory carried at cost, $800,000. The market value of the inventory is currently $810,000. The company hedges against a decline in the market value of the inventory by taking a short position in soybeans, locking in a 60-day futures price of $810,000. The position requires a margin deposit of $10,000, and the hedge qualifies as a fair value hedge of the soybean inventory. Fifty days later, the market value of the inventory is $812,000, the 10-day futures price is $811,800, the company closes its short position and sells its soybean inventory. All events occur within the company's accounting year and income effects are reported in cost of goods sold.
