| 06年12月试题 Misson has further entered into a contract to purchase plant and equipment from a foreign supplier on 30 June 2007. The purchase price is 4 million euros. A non-refundable deposit of 1 million euros was paid on signing the contract on 31 July 2006 with the balance of 3 million euros payable on 30 June 2007. Misson was uncertain as to whether to purchase a 3 million euro bond on 31 July 2006 which will not mature until 30 June 2010, or to enter into a forward contract on the same date to purchase 3 million euros for a fixed price of $2 million on 30 June 2007 and to designate the forward contract as a cash flow hedge of the purchase commitment.

不明白effectivenss 应该怎么测？ 一、 承诺日
汇率1.6，资产负债表日汇率1.3，
the change in the fair value of the forward contract:2-3/1.3=0.3 Loss on the hedged item is :3/1.3-3/1.6=0.4, the effectiveness:0.3/0.4=75%, under IAS39, for hedge accounting to be applied,the hedge must be between 80%-125% effective . 显然，这外例题不能用套期会计核算。
另一解法： the cost of the plan is still 3m euros at the year end, but this is now equivalent to $2.3 whereas the forward contract ensures that it will only cost the company $2 therefore the hedge has been completely effective.这个解法是可以用套期会计核算。
为什么会有两种不同的结论？
应该怎么理解才是正确的？ |
