Question: On November 1, 2017 Husky owned 1,000,000 barrels of oil that it wants to sell in March 2018 for $72 per barrel. Husky acquired the oil for $65 per barrel in September from a local competitor that was going out of business. Husky management would like to hedge against a change in the price of oil so they can remove the risk that future cash flows will be different from the $72,000,000 expected amount. On November 1,2017 the company enters into a forward contract to sell 1,000,000 barrels of oil in March 2018 for a price of $72 per barrel (the right and obligation to deliver). Assume the forward contract has no value at inception. The company's managers designate this as a cash flow hedge, and it is expected to be highly effective.

(a) Assume that on December 31, 2017 the forward price for March 2018 delivery of oil has increased to $73.50 per barrel. Since Husky is a calendar year-end firm, how would Husky reflect the change in value of the forward contract in their financial statements?
