The second commitment was exercised on August 20, 2021, when the market price of the inventory purchased was $120,500.

    Explanation:

    For June 15, Loss on purchase commitment = Signed value of inventory - Market value of inventory = $100,000 - $85,500 = $14,500

    For June 30, Loss on purchase commitment = Signed value of inventory - Market value of inventory = $151,000 - $140,400 = $10,600

    For Aug 30, Loss on purchase commitment = Market price of inventory at June 30 - Market value of inventory at August 30 = $140,400 - $120,500 = $19,900
