FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />
1209<br />
Debit Credit<br />
Receivables – LC10<br />
Payables LC5 –<br />
Forward contract – LC25<br />
Net assets/equity – LC5<br />
Basis adjustment (inventory) LC35 –<br />
Gains <strong>and</strong> losses – –<br />
Internal contracts – –<br />
These total net balances are different from those that would be recognized if the<br />
internal derivatives were not eliminated, <strong>and</strong> it is these net balances that IPSAS 29<br />
requires to be included in the consolidated financial statements. The accounting<br />
entries required to adjust the total net balances before elimination of the internal<br />
derivatives are as follows:<br />
(a) To reclassify LC15 of the loss on B’s internal derivative that is included in<br />
inventory to reflect that FC150 of the forecast purchase of inventory is not<br />
hedged by an external instrument (neither the external forward contract of<br />
FC250 in TC nor the external payable of FC100 in A); <strong>and</strong><br />
(b) To reclassify the gain of LC15 on A’s internal derivative to reflect that the<br />
forecast revenues of FC150 to which it relates is not hedged by an external<br />
instrument.<br />
The net effect of these two adjustments is as follows:<br />

F.1.8 Combination of Written <strong>and</strong> Purchased Options<br />
In most cases, IPSAS 29.AG127 prohibits the use of written options as hedging<br />
<strong>instruments</strong>. If a combination of a written option <strong>and</strong> purchased option (such as<br />
an interest rate collar) is transacted as a single instrument with one<br />
counterparty, can an entity split the derivative instrument into its written<br />
option component <strong>and</strong> purchased option component <strong>and</strong> designate the<br />
purchased option component as a hedging instrument?<br />
No. IPSAS 29.83 specifies that a hedging relationship is designated by an entity for a<br />
hedging instrument in its entirety. The only exceptions permitted are splitting the<br />
time value <strong>and</strong> intrinsic value of an option <strong>and</strong> splitting the interest element <strong>and</strong> spot<br />
price on a forward. Question F.1.3 addresses the issue of whether <strong>and</strong> when a<br />
combination of options is considered as a written option.<br />
