4) Jefferson Company entered into a forward contract with Washington Company on October 1, 2011, under which Jefferson agreed to buy (and Washington agreed to sell) 10,000 tons of coal at $80.00 per ton in 90 days. On October 1, 2011, the price of coal is $82.00 per ton. On December 29, 2011, the price of coal is $85.00 per ton. The contract allows for net settlement.
Required:
Determine the net settlement on the forward contract.
Answer: Washington will pay Jefferson $50,000 in net settlement.
If the parties fulfilled the contract, Washington would have to acquire 10,000 tons of coal at $85.00 per ton, or $850,000, would then in turn sell the coal to Jefferson for $800,000 (10,000 tons × $80/ton), and thus would have lost $50,000 on the contract. Because Jefferson will purchase coal from a third-party at $85.00 per ton, they will use the $800,000 of their own funds that they would have used to purchase the coal from Washington under the contract, plus the $50,000 that they received from Washington in net settlement, and thus they are made whole by the net settlement.

Button agrees to purchase (and Bows agrees to sell) 100,000 pounds of cotton at $1.19 per pound, six months from the date of agreement. On October 1, 2012, the price of cotton is $1.17 per pound. The contract allows for net settlement.
Required:
Determine the net settlement on the forward contract. Answer: Button will pay Bows $2,000 in net settlement.
If the parties fulfilled the contract, Bows would have to acquire 100,000 pounds of cotton at $1.17 per pound, or $117,000, and would then in turn sell the cotton to Button for $119,000 (100,000 × $1.19/pound), and thus would have gained $2,000 on the contract. Because Button would have to purchase cotton from a third-party at $1.17 per pound, they will pay $117,000 to the third-party, plus the $2,000 to Bows, so they will have paid out a total of $119,000 for 100,000 pounds, and thus locked in the price of $1.19 per pound.

3. What is the Accounts Receivable balance in the balance sheet at September 30, 2011? 4. What is the Inventory balance in the balance sheet at September 30, 2011?
5. What is the Exchange gain or loss that will be reported for the month of September? Answer:
1. Sales = September 18 sale of 110,000 yuan at $.1607 / yuan = $17,677 2. COGS = 80% of inventory balance purchased 9/6/11 = 100,000 yuan × $.1544 = $15,440 × 80% = $12,352
3. Accounts Receivable balance = 110,000 yuan × $.1591 = $17,501 4. Inventory balance = 100,000 yuan × $.1544 = $15,440 × 20% remaining after sale = $3,088 5. Exchange Gain / (Loss) in September = A/R = 110,000 yuan × ($.1591 - $.1607) = ($176) Loss A/P = 100,000 yuan × ($.1591 - $.1544) = ($470) Loss $176 Loss + 470 Loss = ($646) Net Loss in September
