On September 1, 2021, American Metals Distribution (AMD) has an inventory of 10,000 pounds of copper that it plans to sell on th

e spot market in two months. The inventory is carried at cost, and was purchased on the spot market at $2.15/lb. To hedge against a decline in market price, AMD invests in put options on 10,000 pounds of copper, expiring November 1, at a strike price of $2.30/lb, which is the current spot price. AMD pays $150 for the options, and designates the change in intrinsic value as the hedge. On November 1, 2021, the spot price is $2.24/lb, AMD sells the options for their intrinsic value of $600, and AMD sells its inventory at the $2.24/lb spot price. AMD records all income effects of the inventory and hedge in cost of goods sold.
Required:

a. Prepare AMD's journal entries to record the events of September 1 and November 1,2021.AMD's accounting year ends December 31.

Answer and Explanation:

a. The Journal entry is shown below:-

1. Hedge charges Dr, $150  

     To Cash Account $150

(Being bank charges is recorded)

2. Hedge Instrument - Financial Asset Dr, $600  

        To Profit and Loss A/c $600

(Being financial assets is recorded)

3. Profit and Loss A/c Dr, $600  

        To Inventory Account - Copper $600

(Being profit and loss account is recorded)

4. Bank A/c Dr, $22,400  

          To Sales $22,400

(Being bank account is recorded)

2. The computation of the gross margin and locked with the put option and actual reported gross margin is shown below:-

Particulars   Rate    Pounds   Amount   Gross Margin    Gross Margin

Cost Price   $2.15   10,000    $21,500

Strike Price   $2.3 10,000     $23,000      $1,500             6.98%

Cost after hedge

loss of           $0.6    2.09        10,000       $20,900

Selling Rate   $2.24 10,000    $22,400       $1,500         7.18%

Gross margin locked with the put option: 6.98%

Actual reported gross margin: 7.18%

The two amounts are different, since the carrying value of the inventory has changed and the same has been reduced. As a result the total gross margin of 1,500 yielded another percentage as the base value (inventory carrying value) was adjusted.

givi [52]

Answer:

A. $1,510,000

B. -$10,000

Explanation:

a. Calculation to determine Bowen’s Accounting profits

Using this formula

Accounting profits = Total revenue - Explicit cost

Let plug in the formula

Accounting profit = $10 million - $8 million - $40,000 - $400,000 - $50,000

Accounting profit= $1,510,000

Therefore Bowen’s Accounting profits is $1,510,000

b. Calculation to determine Bowen’s Economic profit

Using this formula

Economic profits = Accounting profit - Implicit cost

Let plug in the formula

Economic profits = $1,510,000 - [($11,000,000*0.1) + $30,000 + ($60,000 - $40,000)]

Economic profits =$1,510,000 - [$1,100,000+ $30,000 + $60,000 - $40,000)]

Economic profits =$1,510,000-$1,150,000

Economic profits =-$10,000

Therefore Bowen’s Economic profit is -$10,000
