FMC Co. uses gold in the manufacture of its jewelry products. FMC anticipates it will need to purchase 500 ounces of gold in October 2013 for jewelry it will ship during the holiday season. However, if the price of gold increases, FMC's cost to produce its products will increase and reduce its profit margins.
In order to hedge the risk of increased gold prices, on April 1, 2013, FMC enters into a gold futures contract and designates it as a cash flow hedge of the anticipated gold purchase (assume no premium paid.) The notional amount of the contract is 500 ounces, and the terms of the contract give FMC the option to purchase gold at $300 per ounce. The contract expires on October 31, 2013.
Assume the following data with respect to the price of the gold:
