Multiple Choice
RXN's year-end is on December 31. On November 1, 2019 when the U.S. dollar was worth CDN$1.365, RXN sold merchandise to an American client for US$300,000. Full payment of this invoice was expected by March 1, 2020. On December 1, the spot rate was CDN$1.3450 and the three-month forward rate was CDN$1.3250. In order to minimize its Foreign Exchange risk and exposure, RXN entered into a forward contract with its bank on December 1, 2019 to deliver US$300,000 in three months' time. The spot rate at year-end was CDN$1.36 and the forward rate from December 31, 2019 to March 1, 2020 was CDN$1.34. On March 1, 2020, RXN received the US$300,000 from its client and settled its contract with the bank. The forward contract was to be accounted for as a fair value hedge of the US dollar receivable.
