    Uploaded by

    John Philip L Concepcion
    This document discusses determining the fair value of a forward contract at a point in time. It provides an example of a company, Meisner Co., that ordered parts costing $100,000 from a foreign supplier when the spot exchange rate was PHP 24 per dollar. Meisner Co. signed a one-month forward contract on that date to purchase the $100,000 at a forward rate of PHP 25 per dollar. When payment was made and the parts received a month later, the spot rate had increased to PHP 28 per dollar. The document asks for the amount inventory should be reported at, which is PHP 28,000.
