Sir, in the answer scheme it states that
“the contract is a hybrid contract containing a host contract which is an executory contract to purchase electricity at a price of 20 million euros and a non-closely related embedded foreign currency derivative with an initial fair value of zero to buy 20 million euros, sell 25 million dollars.”
May I know why there is an initial fair value of zero for non-closely related embedded foreign currency derivative ?
Thanks in advance.
All derivatives (except options) have a $nil value at inception.
Noted with thanks
My pleasure
