Critical Term Analysis
• Effectiveness considers– Nature of the underlying variable– Notional amount– Item being hedged– Delivery date of derivative– Settlement date of the underlying
• If critical terms are identical, effectiveness is assumed

11
Example of Effectiveness
• Item to be hedged– Accounts payable– Due January 1, 2007– For delivery of 10,000 euros– Variable is the changing value of euros
• Hedge instrument– Forward contract– To accept delivery of 10,000 euros– On January 1, 2007

Statistical Analysis
• If critical terms of item to be hedged and hedge instrument do not match
• Statistical analysis can determine effectiveness– Regression analysis– Correlation analysis
• Example– Using derivatives based on heating oil or crude oil to
hedge jet fuel costs

Cash Flow Hedge
• Hedges– Anticipated or forecasted transactions
• Hedges exposure to variability in expected future cash flows associated with a risk.
• Hedged risk– Variability in expected future cash flows

Accounting for Cash Flow Hedge
• Hedge instrument is recorded at cost• Adjust to fair value• Change in fair value is recorded as Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI)• When the forecasted transaction impacts the
income statement– Reclassify OCI to the hedged revenue or expense
account

Cash Flow Hedge Example: Fuel
Utility anticipates purchasing oil for sale to its customers next February. On Dec. 1 Utility enters a futures contract to acquire 4,200 gallons of oil at $1.4007 per gallon for delivery on Jan. 31. A margin of $10 is to be paid up front.
On Dec. 31, the price for delivery of oil on Jan. 31 is $1.4050.
On Jan. 31, the spot rate for current delivery is $1.3995. Utility settles the contract, accepting delivery of 4,200 gallons of oil.

Hedge: Fuel (cont.)• In Feb. Utility sells all the oil to its customers for
$8,400 and reclassifies its OCI from the hedge as cost of sales. Pertinent rates:
• Change in futures contract to Dec. 31 = $18.06• Change in futures contract to Jan. 31 = ($23.10)• The loss on the contract is ($5.04) OCI, and this
serves to increase the cost of sales.
