P 17-16 (Fair Value Hedge Interest Rate Swap) On December 31, 2012, Mercantile Corp. had a
$10,000,000 8.00% fixed-rate note outstanding, payable in 2 years. It decides to enter into a
2-year swap with Chicago First Bank to convert the fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. The terms of
the swap indicate that Mercantile will receive interest at a fixed rate of 8.00% and will pay a
variable rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR rate, based on the $10,000,000 amount. The
LIBOR rate on December 31, 2012, is 7.00% . The LIBOR rate will be reset every 6
months and will be used to determine the variable rate to be paid for the following 6-month period.
"Mercantile Corp. designates the swap as a fair value hedge. Assume that the hedging relationship
meets all the conditions necessary for hedge accounting. The 6-month LIBOR rate and the swap and debt
fair values are as follows."
Date 6-Month LIBOR Rate Swap Fair Value Debt Fair Value
December 31, 2012 7.00% - $10,000,000
June 30, 2013 7.50% ($200,000) $9,800,000
