Question - On February 1, 2020, when the spot rate was $1.00 per Swiss franc, Blue Bogey Company (BBC) forecasted the purchase of component parts on May 1, 2020, at a price of 100,000 Swiss francs. On that date, BBC entered into a forward contract to purchase 100,000 Swiss francs on May 1, 2020, and designated the forward contract as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted transaction. The forward points are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are straight-line amortized on a monthly basis. On May 1, 2020, the forward contract was settled, and the component parts were received and paid for. The parts were used in the assembly of finished goods that were sold by June 30, 2020.
