  • 81. What exchange rate would be used to translate the asset and liability account balances of a foreign subsidiary? What justification can be given for using this exchange rate?

    Assets and liabilities are translated using the current exchange rate, the rate in effect at the balance sheet date. This rate is chosen because assets and liabilities are expected to affect future cash flows. Therefore, they should be translated using the most up-to-date exchange rates available.

    82. Farley Brothers, a U.S. company, had a subsidiary in Italy. Under what conditions would the U.S. dollar be the functional currency for this subsidiary?

    To determine the subsidiary's functional currency, Farley Brothers should look at the volume of the subsidiary's transactions in various currencies. If most of the subsidiary's sales and purchases are in dollars, the dollar may be the logical choice for the functional currency. If there are many transactions between the subsidiary and the parent and if most of the subsidiary's financing comes from the U.S., the dollar may be a better choice than the lira or other European currencies.

    83. What is the justification for the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions?

    Re-measurement is needed for transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. A U.S. company which engages in transactions in other countries may have to re-measure some of its transactions. The implicit justification for re-measurement is that foreign currency transactions which affect monetary assets and liabilities have a direct effect on the entity's cash flows. There will be direct effects on future cash flows in the functional currency and thus an effect on net income.

    84. Contrast the purpose of re-measurement with the purpose of translation.

    The purpose of translation is to transform a subsidiary's financial statements, prepared in its functional currency, into the reporting currency of the parent. The purpose of re-measurement is to restate transactions from one currency into the functional currency of the entity. Re-measurement is also required when a subsidiary's financial statements have been denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency.
