CHAPTER 7
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND
HEDGING FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Chapter Outline
I. In today’s global economy, a great many companies deal in currencies other than their
reporting currencies.
A. Merchandise may be imported or exported with prices stated in a foreign currency.
B. For reporting purposes, foreign currency balances must be stated in terms of the
company’s reporting currency by multiplying it by an exchange rate.
C. Accountants face two questions in restating foreign currency balances.
1. What is the appropriate exchange rate for restating foreign currency balances?
2. How are changes in the exchange rate accounted for?
D. Companies often engage in foreign currency hedging activities to avoid the adverse impact
of exchange rate changes.
E. Accountants must determine how to properly account for these hedging activities.
II. Foreign exchange rates are determined in the foreign exchange market under a variety of
different currency arrangements.
A. Exchange rates can be expressed in terms of the number of U.S. dollars to purchase one
foreign currency unit (direct quotes) or the number of foreign currency units that can be
obtained with one U.S. dollar (indirect quotes).
B. Foreign currency trades can be executed on a spot or forward basis.
1. The spot rate is the price at which a foreign currency can be purchased or sold today.
2. The forward rate is the price today at which foreign currency can be purchased or sold
sometime in the future.
3. Forward exchange contracts provide companies with the ability to “lock in” a price
today for purchasing or selling currency at a specific future date.
C. Foreign currency options provide the right but not the obligation to buy or sell foreign
currency in the future, and therefore are more flexible than forward contracts.
III. FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (FASB ASC
830) prescribes accounting rules for foreign currency transactions.
A. Export sales denominated in foreign currency are reported in U.S. dollars at the spot
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Subsequent changes in the exchange rate
until collection of the receivable are reflected through a restatement of the foreign currency
account receivable with an offsetting foreign exchange gain or loss reported in income.
This is known as a two-transaction perspective, accrual approach.
B. The two-transaction perspective, accrual approach also is used in accounting for foreign
currency payables. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency create an
exposure to foreign exchange risk; this is the risk that changes in the exchange rate over
time will result in a foreign exchange loss.

IV. FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (FASB ASC
815) governs the accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
including the use of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options.
A. The fundamental requirement is that all derivatives must be carried on the balance sheet at
their fair value. Derivatives are reported on the balance sheet as assets when they have a
positive fair value and as liabilities when they have a negative fair value.
B. U.S. GAAP provides guidance for hedges of the following sources of foreign exchange risk:
1. foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
2. unrecognized foreign currency firm commitments.
3. forecasted foreign denominated currency transactions.
4. net investments in foreign operations (covered in Chapter 10).
C. Companies prefer to account for hedges in such a way that the gain or loss from the hedge
is recognized in net income in the same period as the loss or gain on the risk being
hedged. This approach is known as hedge accounting. Hedge accounting for foreign
currency derivatives may be applied only if three conditions are satisfied:
1. the derivative is used to hedge either a cash flow exposure or fair value exposure to
foreign exchange risk,
2. the derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows or fair value
related to the hedged item, and
3. the derivative is properly documented as a hedge.
D. Hedge accounting is allowed for hedges of two different types of exposure: cash flow
exposure and fair value exposure. Hedges of (1) foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities, (2) foreign currency firm commitments, and (3) forecasted foreign currency
transactions can be designated as cash flow hedges. Hedges of (1) and (2) also can be
designated as fair value hedges. Accounting procedures differ for the two types of hedges.
E. For cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, at each
balance sheet date:
1. The hedged asset or liability is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the spot
exchange rate, and a foreign exchange gain or loss is recognized in net income.
2. The derivative hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value (resulting in an asset or
liability reported on the balance sheet), with the counterpart recognized as a change in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).
3. An amount equal to the foreign exchange gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability is
then transferred from AOCI to net income; the net effect is to offset any gain or loss on
the hedged asset or liability.
4. An additional amount is removed from AOCI and recognized in net income to reflect (a)
the current period’s amortization of the original discount or premium on the forward
contract (if a forward contract is the hedging instrument) or (b) the change in the time
value of the option (if an option is the hedging instrument).
F. For fair value hedges of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, at each
balance sheet date:
1. The hedged asset or liability is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the spot
exchange rate, and a foreign exchange gain or loss is recognized in net income.
2. The derivative hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value (resulting in an asset or
liability reported on the balance sheet), with the counterpart recognized as a gain or
loss in net income.

Chapter 07 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk
G. Under fair value hedge accounting for hedges of foreign currency firm commitments:
1. the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized currently in net income, and
2. the change in fair value of the firm commitment is also recognized currently in net
income.
This accounting treatment requires (1) measuring the fair value of the firm commitment, (2)
recognizing the change in fair value in net income, and (3) reporting the firm commitment
on the balance sheet as an asset or liability. A decision must be made whether to
measure the fair value of the firm commitment through reference to (a) changes in the spot
exchange rate or (b) changes in the forward rate.
H. Cash flow hedge accounting is allowed for hedges of forecasted foreign currency
transactions. For hedge accounting to apply, the forecasted transaction must be probable
(likely to occur). The accounting for a hedge of a forecasted transaction differs from the
accounting for a hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment in two ways:
1. Unlike the accounting for a firm commitment, there is no recognition of the forecasted
transaction or gains and losses on the forecasted transaction.
2. The hedging instrument (forward contract or option) is reported at fair value, but
because there is no gain or loss on the forecasted transaction to offset against,
changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are not reported as gains and
losses in net income. Instead they are reported in other comprehensive income. On
the projected date of the forecasted transaction, the cumulative change in the fair value
of the hedging instrument is transferred from other comprehensive income (balance
sheet) to net income (income statement).
V. IFRS is very similar to U.S. GAAP with respect to the accounting for foreign currency
transactions and hedging of foreign exchange risk.
A. IAS 21 requires the use of a two-transaction perspective in accounting for foreign currency
transactions with unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses accrued in net income in
the period of exchange rate change.
B. IAS 39 allows hedge accounting for foreign currency hedges of recognized assets and
liabilities, firm commitments, and forecasted transactions when documentation
requirements and effectiveness tests are met. Hedges are designated as cash flow or fair
value hedges.
C. One difference between IFRS and U.S. GAAP relates to the type of financial instrument
that can be designated as a foreign currency cash flow hedge. Under U.S. GAAP, only
derivative financial instruments can be used as a cash flow hedge, whereas IFRS also
allows non-derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency loans, to be
designated as hedging instruments in a foreign currency cash flow hedge.

Chapter 07 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk
The Ahnuld Corporation could have received $200,000 [$2.00 x 100,000 tchecks] from its export
sale to Tcheckia if it had required immediate payment. Instead, Ahnuld allows its customer six
months to pay. Given the future exchange rate of $1.70, Ahnuld would have received only
$170,000 if it had not entered into the forward contract. This would have resulted in a decrease in
cash inflow of $30,000. In accordance with current accounting standards, the decrease in the value
of the tcheck receivable is recognized as a foreign exchange loss of $30,000. This loss represents
the cost of extending credit to the foreign customer if the tcheck receivable is left unhedged.
However, rather than leaving the tcheck receivable unhedged, Ahnuld sells tchecks forward at a
price of $180,000. Because the future spot rate turns out to be only $1.70, the forward contract
provides a benefit, increasing the amount of cash received from the export sale by $10,000. In
accordance with current accounting standards, the change in the fair value of the forward contract
(from zero initially to $10,000 at maturity) is recognized as a gain on the forward contract of
$10,000. This gain reflects the cash flow benefit from having entered into the forward contract, and
is the appropriate basis for evaluating the performance of the foreign exchange risk manager.
(Students should be reminded that the forward contract will not always improve cash inflow. For
example, if the future spot rate were $1.85, the forward contract would result in $5,000 less cash
inflow than if the transaction were left unhedged.)
The net impact on income resulting from the fluctuation in the value of the tcheck is a loss of
$20,000. Clearly, Ahnuld forgoes $20,000 in cash inflow by allowing the customer time to pay for
the purchase, and the net loss reported in income correctly measures this. The $20,000 loss is
useful to management in assessing whether the sale to Tcheckia generated an adequate profit
margin, but it is not useful in assessing the performance of the foreign exchange risk manager. The
net loss must be decomposed into its component parts to fairly evaluate the risk manager’s
performance.
Gains and losses on forward contracts designated as fair value hedges of foreign currency assets
and liabilities are relevant measures for evaluating the performance of foreign exchange risk
managers. (The same is not true for cash flow hedges. For this type of hedge, performance should
be evaluated by considering the net gain or loss on the forward contract plus or minus the forward
contract premium or discount.)

Chapter 07 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk
Answers to Questions
1. Under the two-transaction perspective, an export sale (import purchase) and the subsequent
collection (payment) of cash are treated as two separate transactions to be accounted for
separately. The idea is that management has made two decisions: (1) to make the export sale
(import purchase), and (2) to extend credit in foreign currency to the foreign customer (obtain
credit from the foreign supplier). The income effect from each of these decisions should be
reported separately.
2. Foreign currency receivables resulting from export sales are revalued at the end of accounting
periods using the current spot rate. An increase in the value of a receivable will be offset by
reporting a foreign exchange gain in net income, and a decrease will be offset by a foreign
exchange loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are accrued even though they have not
yet been realized.
3. Foreign exchange gains and losses are created by two factors: having foreign currency
exposures (foreign currency receivables and payables) and changes in exchange rates.
Appreciation of the foreign currency will generate foreign exchange gains on receivables and
foreign exchange losses on payables. Depreciation of the foreign currency will generate
foreign exchange losses on receivables and foreign exchange gains on payables.
5. A party to a foreign currency forward contract is obligated to deliver one currency in exchange
for another at a specified future date, whereas the owner of a foreign currency option can
choose whether to exercise the option and exchange one currency for another or not.
6. Hedges of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are not entered into until a
foreign currency transaction (import purchase or export sale) has taken place. Hedges of firm
commitments are made when a purchase order is placed or a sales order is received, before a
transaction has taken place. Hedges of forecasted transactions are made at the time a future
foreign currency purchase or sale can be anticipated, even before an order has been placed or
received.
7. Foreign currency options have an advantage over forward contracts in that the holder of the
option can choose not to exercise if the future spot rate turns out to be more advantageous.
Forward contracts, on the other hand, can lock a company into an unnecessary loss (or a
reduced gain). The disadvantage associated with foreign currency options is that a premium
must be paid up front even though the option might never be exercised.
9. The fair value of a foreign currency forward contract is determined by reference to changes in
the forward rate over the life of the contract, discounted to the present value. Three pieces of
information are needed to determine the fair value of a forward contract at any point in time
during its life: (a) the contracted forward rate when the forward contract is entered into, (b) the
7-5

Chapter 07 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk
current forward rate for a contract that matures on the same date as the forward contract
entered into, and (c) a discount rate; typically, the company’s incremental borrowing rate.
The manner in which the fair value of a foreign currency option is determined depends on
whether the option is traded on an exchange or has been acquired in the over the counter
market. The fair value of an exchange-traded foreign currency option is its current market price
quoted on the exchange. For over the counter options, fair value can be determined by
obtaining a price quote from an option dealer (such as a bank). If dealer price quotes are
unavailable, the company can estimate the value of an option using the modified Black-
Scholes option pricing model. Regardless of who does the calculation, principles similar to
those in the Black-Scholes pricing model will be used in determining the value of the option.
10. Hedge accounting is defined as recognition of gains and losses on the hedging instrument in
the same period as the recognition of gains and losses on the underlying hedged asset or
liability (or firm commitment).
11. For hedge accounting to apply, the forecasted transaction must be probable (likely to occur),
the hedge must be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the cash flow associated with the
foreign currency risk, and the hedging relationship must be properly documented.
12. In both cases, (1) sales revenue (or the cost of the item purchased) is determined using the
spot rate at the date of sale (or purchase), and (2) the hedged asset or liability is adjusted to
fair value based on changes in the spot exchange rate with a foreign exchange gain or loss
recognized in net income.
For a cash flow hedge, the derivative hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value (resulting in
an asset or liability reported on the balance sheet), with the counterpart recognized as a
change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). An amount equal to the foreign
exchange gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability is then transferred from AOCI to net
income; the net effect is to offset any gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability. An additional
amount is removed from AOCI and recognized in net income to reflect (a) the current period’s
amortization of the original discount or premium on the forward contract (if a forward contract is
the hedging instrument) or (b) the change in the time value of the option (if an option is the
hedging instrument).
For a fair value hedge, the derivative hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value (resulting in
an asset or liability reported on the balance sheet), with the counterpart recognized as a gain
or loss in net income. The discount or premium on a forward contract is not allocated to net
income. The change in the time value of an option is not recognized in net income.
13. For a fair value hedge of a foreign currency asset or liability (1) sales revenue (cost of
purchases) is recognized at the spot rate at the date of sale (purchase) and (2) the hedged
asset or liability is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the spot exchange rate with a
foreign exchange gain or loss recognized in net income. The forward contract is adjusted to
fair value based on changes in the forward rate (resulting in an asset or liability reported on the
balance sheet), with the counterpart recognized as a gain or loss in net income. The foreign
exchange gain (loss) and the forward contract loss (gain) are likely to be of different amounts
resulting in a net gain or loss reported in net income.
For a fair value hedge of a firm commitment, there is no hedged asset or liability to account for.
The forward contract is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the forward rate (resulting in

an asset or liability reported on the balance sheet), with a gain or loss recognized in net
income. The firm commitment is also adjusted to fair value based on changes in the forward
rate (resulting in a liability or asset reported on the balance sheet), and a gain or loss on firm
commitment is recognized in net income. The firm commitment gain (loss) offsets the forward
contract loss (gain) resulting in zero impact on net income. Sales revenue (cost of purchases)
is recognized at the spot rate at the date of sale (purchase). The firm commitment account is
closed as an adjustment to net income in the period in which the hedged item affects net
income.
14. For a cash flow hedge of a foreign currency asset or liability (1) sales revenue (cost of
purchases) is recognized at the spot rate at the date of sale (purchase) and (2) the hedged
asset or liability is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the spot exchange rate with a
foreign exchange gain or loss recognized in net income. The forward contract is adjusted to
fair value (resulting in an asset or liability reported on the balance sheet), with the counterpart
recognized as a change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). An amount
equal to the foreign exchange gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability is then transferred
from AOCI to net income; the net effect is to offset any gain or loss on the hedged asset or
liability. An additional amount is removed from AOCI and recognized in net income to reflect
the current period’s allocation of the discount or premium on the forward contract.
For a hedge of a forecasted transaction, the forward contract is adjusted to fair value (resulting
in an asset or liability reported on the balance sheet), with the counterpart recognized as a
change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). Because there is no foreign
currency asset or liability, there is no transfer from AOCI to net income to offset any gain or
loss on the asset or liability. The current period’s allocation of the forward contract discount or
premium is recognized in net income with the counterpart reflected in AOCI. Sales revenue
(cost of purchases) is recognized at the spot rate at the date of sale (purchase). The amount
accumulated in AOCI related to the hedge is closed as an adjustment to net income in the
period in which the forecasted transaction was anticipated to occur.
15. In accounting for a fair value hedge, the change in the fair value of the foreign currency option
is reported as a gain or loss in net income. In accounting for a cash flow hedge, the change in
the entire fair value of the option is first reported in other comprehensive income, and then the
change in the time value of the option is reported as an expense in net income.
16. The accounting for a foreign currency borrowing involves keeping track of two foreign currency
payables—the note payable and interest payable. As both the face value of the borrowing and
accrued interest represent foreign currency liabilities, both are exposed to foreign exchange
risk and can give rise to foreign currency gains and losses.

Answers to Problems
The dollar value of the LCU receivable has decreased from $110,000 at
December 31, 2015 to $95,000 at February 15, 2016. This decrease of $15,000
should be reported as a foreign exchange loss in 2016.
The increase in the dollar value of the euro note payable represents a foreign
exchange loss. In this case a $25,000 loss would have been accrued in 2015
and a $10,000 loss will be reported in 2016.
A foreign currency receivable will generate a foreign exchange gain when the
foreign currency increases in dollar value. A foreign currency payable will
generate a foreign exchange gain when the foreign currency decreases in
dollar value. Hence, the correct combination is franc (increase) and peso
(decrease).

The Thai baht is selling at a premium (forward rate exceeds spot rate). The
exporter will receive more dollars as a result of selling the baht forward than
if the baht had been received and converted into dollars on April 1. Thus, the
premium results in additional revenue for the exporter.
The parts inventory will be recognized at the spot rate at the date of receipt
(FC100,000 x $.23 = $23,000).
The forward contract must be reported on the December 31, 2015 balance
sheet as a liability. Barnum has locked-in to purchase ringgits at $0.042 per
ringgit but could have locked-in to purchase ringgits at $0.037 per ringgit if it
had waited until December 31 to enter into the forward contract. The forward
contract must be reported at its fair value discounted for two months at 12%,
which is $4,901.50 [($.042 – $.037) x 1,000,000 x .9803].
The 10 million won receivable has changed in dollar value from $35,000 at
12/1/15 to $33,000 at 12/31/15. The won receivable will be written down by

The nominal value of the forward contract on December 31, 2015 is a positive
$2,000, the difference between the amount to be received from the forward
contract actually entered into, $34,000 ($.0034 x 10 million), and the amount
that could be received by entering into a forward contract on December 31,

$76,800 (AL 160,000 x $.48). The increase in the dollar value of the liability
creates a foreign exchange loss of $6,400 ($76,800 – $70,400) in 2015.
By March 1, 2016, when the liability is paid, the dollar value has dropped to
$72,000 (AL 160,000 x $.45) creating a foreign exchange gain of $4,800
($72,000 – $76,800) to be reported in 2016.
b. Benjamin, Inc. has a liability of AL 160,000. On the date that this liability
was created (September 1, 2015), the liability had a dollar value of $73,600
(AL 160,000 x $.46). On December 1, 2015, when the liability is paid, the
dollar value has decreased to $70,400 (AL 160,000 x $.44). The drop in the
dollar value of the liability creates a foreign exchange gain of $3,200
($70,400 – $73,600) in 2015.

— Autan teitä parhaani mukaan, sanoi Sanders.
Hän pidättäytyi.
Kieltämätön tosiasia oli, että vaikka hän oli ollut rannikolla vasta
kuusi kuukautta, niin häntä vihasivat kaikki.
— Hitto soikoon, jos tuo lurjus vielä kiusaa minua, niin passitan
hänet kotiin, hän raivosi ja ryhtyi jatkamaan jumalallista riitaa
Sandersin kanssa.
Kirjelmä alkoi:
Sanotaan, että sir Harry Coleby tuli aivan hulluksi, kun hän luki
tämän sähkösanoman. Hän ei ollut tottunut siihen, että Downing
Streetiltä saneltiin hänelle. Hän oli niitä miehiä, jotka ylenkatsoivat
siirtomaaministeriötä. Menikö hän sekaisin vai onko tämä hänen
sihteerinsä liioittelevaa kuvausta, en tiedä. Mutta joka tapauksessa
hän lähetti Hänen Majesteettinsa siirtomaaministerille
sähkösanoman, joka muistutti mainitulle herralle elävästi niitä
hyökkäyksiä, joita hän koki ensimmäisen Home Rulelain myrskyisinä
päivinä. Se ei ollut hullu sähkösanoma eikä paha sähkösanoma; sen
oli sir Harry kirjoittanut parhaalla tyylillään, ja se antoi
siirtomaaministeriön Lontoossa tietää, että sir Harry oli mies paikalla
ja toimi omalla vastuullaan, eikä hänelle ollut asiaa kenelläkään
sivullisella, ja jos joku sekaantuisi hänen toimiinsa, niin — minun
sanani!
Bosambo, päällikkö, valitti, sillä hän tunsi rahan arvon niin hyvin,
ettei ottanut vastaan espanjalaista douroa puraisematta sitä eikä
sekoittanut Saksan markkaa shillinkiin.
Sanders tuli hyvin miettiväiseksi, kun sai kuulla nämä uutiset, sillä
Bosambo oli viekas ja taitava mies, joka tunsi alkuasukkaat yhtä
hyvin kuin Sanders itse. Sanders teki omat johtopäätöksensä ja
valmistautui pitkälle matkalle. Hän astui pieneen alukseensa aamun
sarastaessa.
Se oli, niin kuin hän oli sanonut, epämiellyttävä tie, sillä sateet
olivat olleet hyvin ankarat, ja paikoin oli polulla nilkkoihin asti liejua.
Sanders aikoi jo luopua päähänpistostaan, kun hän puolitiessä
rantaan tuli paikalle, jossa maata oli äskettäin kaivettu ja siihen oli
luotu kumpu.
— Niin kyllä, vastasi päällikkö, — mutta tämä mies oli ollut kauan
kuolleena, ja hänestä oli jäljellä ainoastaan luut. Ja kun minun
mieheni pelkäsivät hänen henkeänsä, niin he hautasivat hänet
siihen, missä hän oli.
*****
— Olet hullu! Tämä americano hirttää sinut kuin porsaan, jos hän
vain saa haistaa veren hajua. Odotetaan — mikä on kirjoitettu, sen
täytyy tapahtua.
Kauan hänen ei tarvinnut odottaa. Niin pian kuin »Yön Ilo» — se
oli aluksen runollinen nimi — oli saatu rantaan, hänet vietiin
Sandersin luo.
*****
Hän sai odottaa kauan, ennen kuin näki väreet, jotka syntyvät
krokotiilin uidessa, mutta kun ne tulivat näkyviin kulkien joen poikki
suoraan rannasta rantaan, ei hän kääntänyt niistä silmiään…

Hän pysähtyi.
