- Accounting for Fair Value Hedge: Interest Rate Swap On January 1 of Year 1, Innovative Lab issued a 4-year $50,000 note to a local bank with fixed interest payments based on 6%, payable annually on December 31. To hedge the risk of a fixed interest payment, Innovative Lab entered into a 4-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1 of Year 1, calling for interest payments tied to a designated benchmark interest rate to a counterparty and receipt of interest based on 6%, negotiated at a notional amount of $50,000. The settlement date for the net cash payment is on December 31 of each year. The following table provides additional information related to the interest rate swap as forecasted over the next 4 years.
