Use the following facts for Multiple Choice problems 21 through 23: Assume our U.S.-based company's functional currency is the $US and it enters into a "firm commitment" with a Portugal-based retailer on November 15, 2018. The firm commitment requires our company to sell 40.000 units of an inventory item costing 20 each to the Portuguese company. Our company is contractually com- mitted to ship the inventory (i.e., title transfers) on February 15, 2019, with payment in Euros on the same date. Our company does recurring business with the Portuguese company, and the firm commitment includes significant monetary penalties for nonperformance.

This derivative qualifies as a fair value hedge. The relevant ex- change rates and related balances for the period from November 15, 2018, to February 15, 2019, are as follows: Derivative-Forward Spot Rate (SUS = 1) Forward Rate (SUS = 1) Date FVD Change in FV November 15, 2018 ......
