Forward Versus Futures Contracts Quotations from Walter Teets September 7, 2000 email message to

Forward Versus Futures Contracts Quotations from Walter Teets September 7, 2000 email message to Bob Jensen The error in our case is simply that the futures values (due to changes in either spot or futures prices) shouldn't be present valued, since there is daily settling up. But the (change in) values of the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item should be present valued, because there is usually no periodic settling of the cash flows associated with the hedged item. The change to the case is minor; the major point of the futures case is to show exclusion of the change in the difference between future and spot price from the determination of effectiveness. Present valuing the cash flow associated with the anticipated transaction, while not present valuing the futures (change in) value adds additional ineffectiveness to the hedging relation.

Future Values Must Be Discounted • If forward values are used to estimate current values, FAS 133 and IAS 39 require that these be discounted backwards to the current dates. • See http: //www. trinity. edu/rjensen/acct 53 41/speakers/133 glosf. htm#Yield. Curve 6 -6

TIME VALUE / VOLATILITY VALUE • Time value is the option premium less intrinsic

TIME VALUE / VOLATILITY VALUE • Time value is the option premium less intrinsic value – Intrinsic value is the beneficial difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying • Volatility value is the option premium less the minimum value – Minimum value is present value of the beneficial difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying 6 -7

FEATURES OF OPTIONS Option Value = Intrinsic Value + Time Value 6 -8 • Intrinsic Value: Difference between the strike price and the underlying price, if beneficial; otherwise zeroz • Time Value: Sensitive to time and volatility; equals zero at expiration

Minimum Value Option Value = Risk Free Value + Volatility Value If the underlying

Minimum Value Option Value = Risk Free Value + Volatility Value If the underlying is the price of corn, then the minimum value of an option on corn is either zero or the current spot price of corn minus the discounted risk-free present value of the strike price. In other words if the option cannot be exercised early, discount the present value of the strike price from the date of expiration and compare it with the current spot price. If the difference is positive, this is the minimum value. It can hypothetically be the minimum value of an American option, but in an efficient market the current price of an American option will not sell below its risk free present value. 6 -13

Selected IAS 39 Paragraph Excerpts • • 146. 80%<Delta<125% Guideline. 147. Assessing hedge effectiveness

Selected IAS 39 Paragraph Excerpts • • 146. 80%<Delta<125% Guideline. 147. Assessing hedge effectiveness will depend on its risk management strategy. 148. Sometimes the hedging instrument will offset the hedged risk only partially. 149. The hedge must relate to a specific identified and designated risk, and not merely to overall enterprise business risks, and must ultimately affect the enterprise's net profit or loss. 150. An equity method investment cannot be a hedged item in a fair value hedge because the equity method recognizes the investor's share of the associate's accrued net profit or loss, rather than fair value changes, in net profit or loss. If it were a hedged item, it would be adjusted for both fair value changes and profit and loss accruals - which would result in double counting because the fair value changes include the profit and loss accruals. For a similar reason, an investment in a consolidated subsidiary cannot be a hedged item in a fair value hedge because consolidation recognizes the parent's share of the subsidiary's accrued net profit or loss, rather than fair value changes, in net profit or loss. A hedge of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary is different. There is no double counting because it is a hedge of the foreign currency exposure, not a fair value hedge of the change in the value of the investment. 151. This Standard does not specify a single method for assessing hedge effectiveness. 152. In assessing the effectiveness of a hedge, an enterprise will generally need to consider the time value of money. 6 -18

FAS Effectiveness Testing --- http: //www. qrm. com/products/mb/Rmbupdate. htm • • • Dollar Offset (DO) calculates the ratio of dollar change in profit/loss for hedge and hedged item Relative Dollar Offset (RDO) calculates the ratio of dollar change in net position to the initial MTM value of hedged item Variability Reduction Measure (Var. RM) calculates the ratio of the squared dollar changes in net position to the squared dollar changes in hedged item Ordinary Least Square (OLS) measures the linear relationship between the dollar changes in hedged item and hedge. OLS calculates the coefficient of determination (R 2) and the slope coefficient (ß) for effectiveness measure and accounts for the historical performance Least Absolute Deviation (LAD) is similar to OLS, but employs median regression analysis to calculate R 2 and ß. 6 -19

Example 6 from Appendix B of FAS 133 At the beginning of period 1, XYZ Company enters into a qualifying cash flow hedge of a transaction forecasted to occur early in period 6. XYZ's documented policy is to assess hedge effectiveness by comparing the changes in present value of the expected future cash flows on the forecasted transaction to all of the hedging derivative's gain or loss (that is, no time value component will be excluded as discussed in paragraph 63). In this hedging relationship, XYZ has designated changes in cash flows related to the forecasted transaction attributable to any cause as the hedged risk. 6 -26

Shortcut Method conditions applicable to both fair value hedges and cash flow hedges •

Shortcut Method conditions applicable to both fair value hedges and cash flow hedges • The notional amount of the swap matches the principal amount of the interest-bearing asset or liability being hedged. If the hedging instrument is solely an interest rate swap, the fair value of the swap at its inception is zero. There are other applicable conditions if the instrument is a compound derivative composed of an interest rate swap and an option. The formula for computing net settlements under the interest rate swap is the same for each net settlement. (That is, the fixed rate is the same throughout the term, and the variable rate is based on the same index and includes the same constant adjustment or no adjustment. ) The interest-bearing asset or liability is not prepayable, unless the asset or liability is prepayable solely due to an embedded option and the hedging instrument is a compound derivative composed of an interest rate swap and an option. • • • 6 -44

Shortcut Method conditions applicable to both fair value hedges and cash flow hedges •

Shortcut Method conditions applicable to both fair value hedges and cash flow hedges • • • 6 -45 The index on which the variable rate is based matches the benchmark interest rate designated as the interest rate risk being hedged for that hedging relationship. Any other terms in the interest-bearing financial instruments or interest rate swaps are typical of those instruments and do not invalidate the assumption of no ineffectiveness. Conditions applicable to fair value hedges only The expiration date of the swap matches the maturity date of the interestbearing asset or liability. There is no floor or cap on the variable interest rate of the swap. The interval between repricings of the variable interest rate in the swap is frequent enough to justify an assumption that the variable payment or receipt is at a market rate (generally three to six months or less).

Shortcut Method conditions applicable to only to fair value hedges • • • 6 -48 All interest receipts or payments on the variable-rate asset or liability during the term of the swap are designated as hedged, and no interest payments beyond the term of the swap are designated as hedged. There is no floor or cap on the variable interest rate of the swap unless the variable-rate asset or liability has a floor or cap. In that case, the swap must have a floor or cap on the variable interest rate that is comparable to the floor or cap on the variable-rate asset or liability. (For this purpose, comparable does not necessarily mean equal. For example, if a swap's variable rate is LIBOR and an asset's variable rate is LIBOR plus 2 percent, a 10 percent cap on the swap would be comparable to a 12 percent cap on the asset. ) The repricing dates match those of the variable-rate asset or liability.
