Based on past experience, Maas Corp. (a U.S.-based company) expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost

of 1,000,000 francs on March 15, 2021. To hedge this forecasted transaction, on December 15, 2020, the company acquires a call option to purchase 1,000,000 francs in three months. Maas selects a strike price of $0.58 per franc when the spot rate is $0.58 and pays a premium of $0.005 per franc. The spot rate increases to $0.584 at December 31, 2020, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $7,500. By March 15, 2021, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.59, resulting in a fair value for the option of $10,000. The raw materials are used in assembling finished products, which are sold by December 31, 2021, when Maas prepares its annual financial statements. Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials. What is the overall impact on net income over the two accounting periods

Which of these is an example of a bank’s commitment to pay? a. Fee arbitration agreement b. A warrant c. Letter of credit d. Bil
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Letter of credit

Explanation:

A letter of credit is a written guarantee from a buyer's bank to the seller, assuring them of payments from the buyer. Should the buyer fail to honor the payments, the bank commits itself to pay. The letter of credit guarantees the seller that upon meeting some pre- defined conditions, the bank would release to them a specified amount, in the stated currency.

Letters of credit are most suited for international trade. The nature of foreign trade is that buyers and sellers do not know each other and operate under different laws. A letter of credit assures each party that the other will fulfill their obligation. The issuing bank will charge for providing the letter of credit services.
