Exercise A$-5($Static$)$ Derivatives; interest rate swap; fixed$-$rate debt; fair value change unrelated to hedged $[$LOA$6]$

On January $1,2024,$ LLB Industries borrowed $$200,000$ from Trust Bank by issuing a two$-$year, $10\%$ note, with interest payable quarterly.

LLB entered into a two$-$year interest rate swap agreement on January $1,2021,$ and designated the swap as a fair value hedge. Its intent was to hedge the risk that general interest rates will decline, causing the fair value of its debt to increase.

The agreement called for the company to receive payment based on a $10\%$ fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $$200,000$ and to pay interest based on a floating interest rate. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount quarterly and rates reset at the beginning of each period.

Floating $($SOFR$)$ settlement rates were $10\%$ at January $1,8\%$ at March $31,$ and $6\%$ at June $30$ and September $30,2024.$ The fair values of the swap are quotes obtained from a derivatives dealer. Those quotes and the fair values of the note are as indicated below. The additional rise in the fair value of the note $($higher than that of the swap$)$ on June $30$ was due to investors$$ perceptions that the creditworthiness of LLB was improving. Assume that LLB does not elect to use the shortcut method. The swap is deemed highly effective, but it is not assumed to be perfectly effective.
