How to record amortization of time value in OCI
Amortization of the initial time value of an option when it is designated as a hedging instrument and the 'cost of hedging' approach is applied.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amortization Expense (Hedging Costs) | Expense | 500.00 | - |
| OCI - Cost of Hedging Reserve | Equity | - | 500.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
When the cost of hedging approach is used, the time value at the date of designation is deferred in OCI and amortized to P&L on a systematic basis over the hedge period.
