Question 2 Black Ltd enters into a call option contract with White Ltd that gives Black Ltd the right to acquire 100,000 shares in Orange Ltd. The options premium is $0.50 each. The details of the options contract are: Contract date Settlement terms Exercise date (only at maturity) Exercise right holder Exercise price per share Share price at maturity Number of shares under option contract Fair value of option contract on 1 February 2018 Fair value of option contract on 30 June 2018 Fair value of option contract on 31 July 2018 Required (a) (b) (c) 10 Marks 1 February 2018 Net cash settlement 31 July 2018 Black Ltd $1.50 $1.70 100,000 $50,000 $30,000 $20,000 Explain why the call option contract satisfies the definition of a financial instrument in AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

The notes have a three-year term and are issued at par with a face value of $1,000 per note, giving total proceeds at the date of issue of $600,000. The notes pay interest at 5% per annum in arrears. The holder of each note is entitled to convert the note into 200 ordinary shares of Foy Ltd at contract maturity.

The following are the relevant present value interest factors (PVIF): PVIF for $1 for 3 years at 9% is 0.772183.
