Question

Shandra Corporation (a U.S.-based company) expects to order goods from a foreign supplier at a price of 100,000 pounds, with delivery and payment to be made on April 20. On February 20, when the spot rate is $1.36 per pound, Shandra purchases a two-month call option on 100,000 pounds and designates this option as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency transaction. The time value of the option is excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness; the change in time value is recognized in net income over the life of the option. The option has a strike price of $1.36 per pound and costs $1,000. The goods are received and paid for on April 20. Shandra sells the imported goods in the local market by May 31. The spot rate for pounds is $1.41 on April 20. What amount will Shandra Corporation report as foreign exchange gain or loss in net income for the quarter ended June 30?
