On June 1, Vandervelde Corporation (a U.S.-based manufacturing firm) received an order to sell goods to a foreign customer at a price of 130,000 leks. Vandervelde will ship the goods and receive payment in three months on September 1. On June 1, Vandervelde purchased an option to sell 130,000 leks in three months at a strike price of $1.04. It properly designated the option as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the spot rate. Relevant exchange rates and option premiums for the lek are as follows:
| Date | Spot Rate | Put Ooption Premium for 9/1 (Strike price $1.04 |
| June 1 | 1.04 | 0.024 |
| June 30 | 1.00 | 0.028 |
| September 1 | 0.95 | N/A |

Since the option is designated at fair value, any change in its value at a reporting date will be recorded in P&L. The firm's commitment is also a current monetary item. Therefore any changes in its value on a reporting date will be recorded in P&L.
