70. How is the fair value of a Forward Contract determined by U.S. GAAP?
The fair value of a Forward Contract is determined by comparing the difference

between the contracted forward rate and the currently available forward rate for
contracts expiring on the same date. On the initial date of the contract, this would
result in a fair value of $0. As time passes, the currently available forward rate will
likely fluctuate relative to the "fixed" contracted forward rate, creating a difference
that must be accounted for as a gain or loss on the forward contract. A contract
with a net gain over its life is recorded on the balance sheet as a Forward Contract
Asset. A contract with a net loss over its life is recorded on the balance sheet as a
Forward Contract Liability.

72. What is the purpose of a hedge of foreign exchange risk?
Hedge of foreign exchange risk is a strategy to limit exposure to the effect of

unfavorable changes in the value of foreign currencies that are caused by
fluctuations in exchange rates. In addition to avoiding possible losses, companies
hedge foreign currency transactions and commitments to introduce an element of
certainty into the future cash flows resulting from foreign currency activities by
establishing a price today at which foreign currency can be sold or purchased at a
future date.

73. How does a foreign currency forward contract differ from a foreign currency
option?
A foreign currency forward contract obligates the parties to deliver one currency in
exchange for another at a specified future date. On the other hand, the owner of a
foreign currency option can choose whether to exercise the option and exchange
one currency for another or not.
