On January 1, 2021, JPS Industries borrowed $300,000 from Austin Bank by issuing a three-year, floating rate note based on LIBOR, with interest payable semi-annually on June 30 and December of each year. JPS entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2021, and designated the swap as a cash flow hedge. The intent was to hedge the risk that interest rates will rise, increasing its semi-annual interest payments. The swap agreement called for the company to receive payment based on a floating interest rate on a notional amount of $300,000 and to pay a 6% fixed interest rate. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount semi-annually, and the rate on each reset date (June 30 and December 31) determines the variable interest rate for the following six months. LIBOR rates in 2021 were 6% at January 1, 5.5% at June 30, and 7% at December 31. The fair values of the swap on those dates, obtained by dealer quotes, were as follows:
January 1June 30 December 31
Swap fair value $0 $(3,100) $4,000
Required:
1. Calculate the net settlement on June 30, 2021.
2. Prepare journal entries for the period January 1 to December 31, 2021, to record the note payable and hedging instrument, necessary adjustments for changes in fair value, and settlement of the swap contract.

multiculturalism is a particular subject of debate in certain european nations that are associated with the idea of a single nation within their country. critics of multiculturalism may argue against cultural integration of different ethnic and cultural groups to the existing laws and values of the country.

so yes, multiculturalism can (and usually does) result in the host country/continent losing its culture, identity and linguistics, especially due to the raw numbers of demographic transitions.
