Based on past experience, Leickner Company expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,000,000 marks on March 15, 2012. To hedge this forecasted transaction, the company acquires a three-month call option to purchase 1,000,000 marks on December 15, 2011. Leickner selects a strike price of $0.58 per mark, paying a premium of $0.005 per unit, when the spot rate is $0.58. The spot rate increases to $0.584 at December 31, 2011, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $8,000. By March 15, 2012, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.59, resulting in a fair value for the option of $10,000.
