Based on past experience, Maas Corp. (a U.S.-based company) expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,200,000 francs on March 15, 2021. To hedge this forecasted transaction, on December 15, 2020, the company acquires a call option to purchase 1,200,000 francs in three months. Maas selects a strike price of $0.68 per franc when the spot rate is $0.68 and pays a premium of $0.005 per franc. The spot rate increases to $0.686 at December 31, 2020, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $10,000. By March 15, 2021, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.70, resulting in a fair value for the option of $24,000. The raw materials are used in assembling finished products, which are sold by December 31, 2021, when Maas prepares its annual financial statements.
