Update Warning: Since futures contracts are settled daily, a 0.0% discount rate should be used as illustrated in Example 7 of Appendix B in FAS 133. The illustration in Exhibit 4 of this case illustrates the discounting versus the non-discounting solutions. Professor Walter Teets sent me the following email message concerning his changing of the original answers in the Teet and Uhl case entitled "C.L. Smith and Sons: Accounting for Futures Hedging Commodity Purchases and Sales" at http://www.gonzaga.edu/faculty/teets/index0.html
| September 7, 2000 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.
