Crown Co. is expecting to receive 100,000 British pounds in one year. Crown expects the spot rate of the British pound to be $1.

49 in a year, so it decides to avoid exchange rate risk by hedging its receivables. The spot rate of the pound is quoted at $1.51. The strike price of put and call options are $1.54 and $1.53, respectively. The premium on both options is $.03. The one-year forward rate exhibits a 2.65 percent premium. Assume there are no transaction costs. What is the best possible hedging strategy and how many U.S. dollars Crown Co. will receive under this strategy?

Answer:

Sell pound forward

Explanation:

Forward rate = $1.51 *(1+2.65%) = 1.51 * 1.0265 = 1.55

Amount receivable in case of forward hedge = 100,000 * 1.55 = 155,000

Premium payable on put options = 100,000 * 0.3 = 3,000

Amount receivable in put options = 100,000 * 1.54 = 154,000

Net receivables in put options = 154,000 - 3,000 = 151,000

Conclusion: Higher amount is available in case of forward hedge. So, sell pound forward

the journal entry to record warranty expense is:

Dr Warranty expense 30,000

    Cr Warranty liability 30,000

the journal entry to record actual expenses related to product warranties:

Dr Warranty liability 10,000

    Cr Cash (or inventory, or wages payable) 10,000

Depending on what type of costs are incurred by the company, the account credited will vary, e.g. if units are replaced, then inventory must be credited, or if units are repaired and only labor is used, then wages payable or cash should be credited. Since the question doesn't give us a lot of details, I credited cash.

adell [148]

Answer: C

Explanation:

This is because although the coupon rate is devoid of federal income tax any market discount is taxed as interest income earned. So so if there is a way that they can be taxed without jeopardizing their basic Federal income tax-free status, why not? The discount can be accreted annually and tax paid, or the tax can be paid at maturity or sale date.
