In addition, on November 30, 2017, Eximco purchased raw materials from a Mongaguan supplier at a price of 300,000 mongs; it will make payment on January 31, 2018.

Based on past experience, Leickner Company expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,100,000 marks on March 15, 2018. To hedge this forecasted transaction, the company acquires a three-month call option to purchase 1,100,000 marks on December 15, 2017. Leickner selects a strike price of $0.81 per mark, paying a premium of $0.002 per unit, when the spot rate is $0.81. The spot rate increases to $0.817 at December 31, 2017, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $9,000. By March 15, 2018, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.83, resulting in a fair value for the option of $22,000.
a. Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials, assuming that December 31 is Leickner's year-end and that the raw materials are included in the cost of goods sold in 2018.

| Major Mills is a large manufacturer of breakfast cereal. One of its most popular products is Sugar-Bombs, which sells at wholesale for $55/case. |
| The cost to produce is $42.20 per case, as follows: Ingredients, $8.70; Packaging, $4.10; Direct Labor, $3.40; Overhead, $26 (20% variable). |
| A large grocery retailer has approached Major Mills with a proposal to create a house-brand version of Sugar-Bombs. |
| The retailer offers to purchase 10,000 cases per month of the house brand for one year, after which the contract could be renewed. The retailer will purchase the house brand for $33/case. |
| A slight change in the recipe would reduce ingredients cost by 30 cents per case. Packaging cost would increase by 12 cents per case because of a new ink required. |
| There would be an initial annual setup cost of $18,000. Because Major Mills has excess capacity of only 9,000 cases per month on the production line, they would lose 1,000 cases per month of sales of Sugar-Bombs. |
| a) Would accepting the retailer's offer be profitable for Major Mills? |
| b) What other factors should Major Mills consider in deciding whether to accept this offer? |
