Opie Industries is a manufacturer of plastic bottles. On September 1, 2014, Opie purchased an option contract at a cost of $2,000. The purpose of the option is to hedge against increases in the price of this type of plastic,
"PET." The option is to buy 1,000,000 pounds of PET on March 1, 2015 for $.75 per pound. If the market price of PET is below $.75 on March 1, Opie will let the option expire. If the market price is above $.75, then Opie will exercise the option. The option is to be settled net. Opie assumes a 6% annual borrowing rate. Assume this is a cash flow hedge.
Required:
Prepare the entry that Opie should record on September 1, 2014. Then, assuming that the price of PET is $.72 on December 31, 2014 (Opie's year end), prepare the entry that Opie should record. Finally, prepare the entries for March 1, 2015, assuming that the price of PET is $.78.
What will be an ideal response?
9/1/14 PET Contract Option 2,000
Cash 2,000
12/31/14 Other comprehensive income 2,000
PET Contract Option 2,000
(The option has no value because the
market price is below the exercise price.)
3/1/15 PET Contract Option 30,000
Other comprehensive income 30,000
[1,000,000 × ($0.78 - $0.75)] = 30,000
3/1/15 PET Inventory 780,000
Cash 780,000
Cash 30,000
