Assume that on January 1, a Mexican firm wants to finance their Mexican operation and borrows $10 million for 1 year with 8% annualized interest from a US bank. At inception, the spot rate was Peso 3.40/$. The inflation is 2.00% and 12.00% respectively for US and Mexico. According to our class material, PPP between Mexican Peso and USD hold well.

On January 2, 2020, Pharoah Corp. issues a $8–million, five–year note at LIBOR, with interest paid annually. To protect against the cash flow uncertainty related to interest payments that are based on LIBOR, Pharoah entered into an interest rate swap to pay 8% fixed and receive LIBOR based on $8 million for the term of the note. The LIBOR rate for the first year is 7.6%. The LIBOR rate is reset to 8.7% on January 2, 2021. Pharoah follows ASPE and uses hedge accounting. On December 31, 2020, the fair value of the swap decreased by $13,500: it increased by $4,000 on December 31, 2021. Assume that the criteria for hedge accounting under ASPE are met.

Prepare the journal entries to recognize the swap, assuming the company follows hedge accounting under IFRS
