Accounting

Spitz Company ordered merchandise from a foreign supplier on November 20 at a price of 109,000 forints when the spot rate was $0.59 per forint. Delivery and payment were scheduled for December 20. On November 20, Spitz acquired a call option on 109,000 forints at a strike price of $0.59, paying a premium of $0.01 per forint. It designates the option as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the spot rate. The merchandise arrives and Spitz makes payment according to schedule. Spitz sells the merchandise by December 31, when it closes its books.
