Swifty Company has been having difficulty obtaining key raw materials for its manufacturing process. The company therefore signed a long-term noncancelable purchase commitment with its largest supplier of this raw material on November 30, 2017, at an agreed price of $382, 800. At December 31, 2017, the raw material had declined in price to $346, 730. What entry would you make on December 31, 2017, to recognize these facts?

    unrealized loss 38,070 debit

    account payable 38,070 credit

    Explanation:

    as the commitment is for 382,800

    but the price lower to 345,730

    there is a loss for thecompany as will be doing a purchase for a higher price than market: 38,070

    But, as the contract has not been completed the loss is unrealized price can change in the future as well therefore it will not be reocgnize right away and no impact in the income statmeent it will be part of other comprehensive income.
