Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions, Foreign Currency Financial Statements


Translation and Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economics

An exchange rate is a measure of how much of one currency may be exchanged for another
currency and several terms are used to describe exchange rates.

1. A direct quote measures how much of the domestic currency must one exchanged to
receive one unit of a foreign currency, (i.e. Peso: Foreign Currency) Indirect quote
measure how many units of a foreign currency will be received for one unit of
domestic currency, (i.e. Foreign Currency: Peso)
2. A currency may either strengthen (gain) or weaken (lose) relative to another currency.
A strengthening of a currency means that the directly quoted amount decreases and
the indirectly quoted amount increases. The opposite would be true for a weakening
currency.
3. Buying and selling rates of exchange respectively represent what a currency broker is
willing to pay to acquire or sell a currency.
4. A spot rate indicates the number of units of a currency that would be exchanged for one
unit of another currency on a given date.
5. A forward rate establishes, at one point in time, the number of units of one currency to be
exchanged for one unit of another currency at a specified future date. On a given date,
different forward rates may exist for the same currency, depending on how far in the
future an exchange is to take place.
a. The agreement to exchange currencies at a future date is called a forward contract.
b. A premium or discount refers to when the forward rate is greater than or less than the
spot rate respectively.
Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions - PAS No. 2J Revised
a. Initial Recognition.
A foreign currency transaction should be recorded initially at the rate of exchange at the date
of transaction (use of averages is permitted if they are a reasonable appropriation-of actual)
b. Reporting at Subsequent Balance Sheet Dates
Foreign currency monetary amounts should be reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items earned at historical cost should be reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value should be reported at the rate that existed when
the fair values were determined.
c. Recognition of Exchange Differences
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary
items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during

Advance Accounting

the period or in previous financial statements shall be recognized in profit or loss in the period
in which they arise.

However, exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting
entity's net investment in a foreign operation shall be recognized in profit or loss in the
separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of
the foreign operation, as appropriate. In the financial statements that include the foreign
operation and the reporting entity (e.g. consolidated financial statements when the foreign
operation is a subsidiary), such exchange differences shall be recognized initially in other
comprehensive income and reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss on
disposal of the net investment.
Furthermore, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other
comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in
other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is
recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized
in profit or loss.

Based on the above provisions, the following rules and procedures should be observed:
1. Foreign currency transactions are transactions denominated in a currency other than the
entity's functional currency. Foreign currency transactions may produce receivables or
payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that will be received or
paid.
2. A change in exchange rates between the peso and the foreign currency in which a
transaction is denominated increases or decreases the expected amount of peso. The
increase or decrease in expected peso is a foreign currency transaction gain or loss that
generally should be included in determining net income for the period in which the
exchange rate changes.
3. Likewise, a transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most
recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later) realized upon settlement of a
foreign currency transaction generally should be included in determining net income for
the period in which the transaction is settled.
4. For other than forward exchange contracts the following should apply to all foreign
currency transactions of an enterprise and its investees.
a. At the date a transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain,
or loss arising from the transaction should be measured and recorded in the
functional currency of the recording entity by use of the exchange rate in effect at
that date.
b. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency of the recording entity should be adjusted to

Foreign Currency Transactions - Lecture Page 2

reflect the current exchange rate. These adjustments should be currently recognized
in the income statement.

II. Foreign Currency Financial Statements Translation - PAS No. 2 (Revised)


Basic Steps for Translating Foreign Currency Amounts into the Functional Currency
The primary economic environment in which an entity operates is normally the one in
which it primarily generates and expends cash. An entity considers the following factors
in determining its functional currency:
a. the currency:
a. 1.that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services (this will often be the
currency in which sales price for its goods and services are denominated and
settled); and
a. 2. of the country who competitive forces and regulations mainly determine the
sales prices of the goods and services.
b. the currency that mainly influences labor, materials, and other costs of providing goods
or services will often be the currency in which sales price for its goods and services are
denominated and settled)

Steps apply to a stand-alone entity, an entity with foreign operations (such as a parent with foreign
subsidiaries), or a foreign operation (such as a foreign subsidiary or branch).
1. The reporting entity determines its functional currency
2. The entity translates all foreign currency items into its functional currency
3. The entity reports the effects of such translation in accordance with paragraph 20-37 and
50 of PAS No. 21.

Functional Currency versus Presentation Currency


Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an
entity operates. On the other hand, presentation currency is the currency in which the
financial statements are presented. In most cases, a stand-alone entity's presentation
currency is also its functional currency.

PAS 21 specifies two approaches to translation and the approach to be used depends on
whether the functional currency (is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) of the
foreign subsidiary is the same as the presentation currency and whether the books are
kept in the functional currency:
Method 1: Translation from the Functional Currency into the Presentation Currency
(Closing/Current Rate Method / Net Investment Method / Translated Method). This method
is used on the following basis:
• Foreign operations operates independently in economic and financial matters (or

Foreign Currency Transactions - Lecture Page 3


Advance Accounting

not Integral to the operations of the parent)


• Functional currency (is not the presentation currency) should be the LCU (local
currency unit - the currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates) or a
third country currency.
• The functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy,
otherwise apply PAS 29.
• The main features of the closing / current rate method are summarized as follows:
 Assets and liabilities both monetary and non-monetary are translated at current rate on
the date of the balance sheet
 Stockholder's equity accounts are translated using historical rates in effect at the time
equities were first recognized (date of investment) in the foreign entity's accounting
records, except:
 Beginning retained earnings is set equal to the ending balance of last year
 Dividends - historical rate on date of declaration, otherwise date of payment
 Revenue and expense of the foreign operation are translated at the dates of transactions,
i.e. actual or spot rates (historical rates). For practical reasons, the average rate is usually
used for items whose transactions are numerous and occur evenly throughout the year,
for example, sales, purchases and operating expenses, but, if exchange rates fluctuate
significantly, the use of the average for a period is inappropriate.
 All resulting difference (translation gains or tosses) shall be recognized in other
comprehensive income until the disposal of the foreign operation, when they are included
in profit or loss.

Method 2: Translation into the Functional Currency / Remeasurement of Foreign Currency Financial
Statements to the Functional Currency (Temporal Method/ Remeasurement Method). This method
is used on the following basis:
• Foreign operation is integrated with parent's operation.
• Functional currency should be the parent's currency / presentation or
reporting currency
• The main features of the temporal or remeasurement method are summarized
as follows:
> Monetary assets and liabilities (e.g. cash and fixed deposits, receivables,
payables and most liabilities) shall be translated (remeasured) using the
closing rate
> Non-monetary items at historical cost or carried at past exchange price (e.g. fixed assets,
investments at cost, prepaid items except prepaid interest, inventories and intangible assets)
shall be translated (remeasured) using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction
(historical rate)
 Non-monetary items at fair value or at current of future exchange prices (e.g., trading

Foreign Currency Transactions - Lecture Page 4


Foreign Currency Transactions

securities, inventories carried at replacement cost and revalued fixed assets) shall be
translated (remeasured) using the exchange rate at the date of the revaluation or fair
value determination
 Stockholders' equity accounts - are translated (or remeasured) using the historical rates
in effect at the time equities were first recognized (date of« investment) in the foreign
entity's accounting records, except:

Beginning retained earnings is set equal to the ending balance of lastyear


 Dividends - historical rate on date of declaration, otherwise date of payment
 Income statement items:
Related to non-monetary items such as cost of sales, depreciation of plant assets, amortization of
intangible assets, amortization of deferred charges or credits and other allocation of non-monetary
items shall be translated (or remeasured) using historical rate (either at the dale of purchase for
historical cost items or the date of valuation for items carried at fair value)

Not related to non-monetary items (or related to monetary items) such as sales,
purchases, expenses and income items that result in inflow/ outflow of monetary items
shall be translated (remeasured) using actual rate (historical rate): however for practical
reasons, an average rate may be used

 Resulting difference (remeasurement gain or loss) should be reported as profit or loss


for the period; remeasurement gain or loss arising from the revaluation of a non-
monetary item is taken to other comprehensive income if the revaluation gains or
losses are taken to other comprehensive income.

Goodwill arising from the Acquisition of Subsidiaries


Pas 21 par. 47 states that:
"Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value
adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that
foreign operation shall be treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations. Thus
they shall be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and shall be
translated at the closing rate.

II Objective of PAS No. 2?


The objective of PAS No. 29 is to establish specific standards for enterprises reporting in
the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, so that the financial information provided is
meaningful.

Restatement of Financial Statements

Foreign Currency Transactions - Lecture Page 5


Advance Accounting

The basic principle in PAS No. 29 is that the financial statements of an entity that reports
in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy should be stated in terms of the measuring
unit current at the balance sheet date. Comparative figures for prior period (s) should be
restated into the same current measuring unit.
Restatements are made by applying a general price index. Items such as monetary items
that are already stated at the measuring unit at the balance sheet date are not restated.
Other items are restated based on the change in the general price index between the date
those items were acquired or incurred and the balance sheet date.

Historical Cost Financial Statements


1. Monetary items are not restated.
2. Assets and liabilities linked by agreement to changes in prices should be adjusted in
accordance with the agreement.
3. All other assets and liabilities are non-monetary. Some non-monetary items are carried at
amounts current at the PAS No. 29 describes characteristics that may indicate that an
economy is hyperinflationary. However, it concludes that it is a matter of judgment when
restatement of financial statements becomes necessary.
When an economy ceases to be hyperinflationary and an enterprise discontinues the
preparation and presentation of financial statements in accordance with PAS No. 29, it should
treat the amounts expressed in the measuring unit current at the end of the previous reporting
period as the basis for the carrying amounts in its subsequent financial statements.

Functional Currency is the Currency of a Hyperinflationary Economy


For an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, and for
which the comparatives amounts are translated into the currency of a different
hyperinflationary shall be translated into a different presentation currency using the following
procedures:
a. All amounts (i.e., assets, liabilities, equity items, income and expenses, including comparatives)
shall be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent balance sheet (i.e., last
year's comparatives, as adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level, are translated at
this year's closing rate), except that
b. When amounts are translated into the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy,
comparative amounts shall be those that were presented in the prior year financial
statements (i.e., not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or subsequent
changes in exchange rates).

ANSWER KEY Page 66


Foreign Currency Transactions

Solutions
1 . Suggested answer (b) Functional currency
IAS 21 defines functional currency as the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates and the primary economic environment is normally the one in
which it primarily generates and expends cash.

2. Suggested answer (b) Closing rate


Closing rate is the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. This is sometime referred
to as current rate.

3. Suggested answer (c) True False


IAS 21, par 28, provides that exchange difference arising on the settlement of monetary
items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements shall be
recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except exchange differences
arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity's net investment in a foreign
operation, which shall be recognized in profit or loss in the separate financial statements of
the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as
appropriate.

4. Suggested answer (b) Been denominated in Philippine pesos.


A foreign currency transaction gives rise to a receivable or a payable, fixed in terms of the
amount of foreign currency. A change in exchange rate between the functional currency and
the currency in which the transaction is denominated if a gain or loss that ordinarily should
be included as a component of income from continuing operations in the period in which the
exchange rate changes. However, changes in exchange rates do not affect transaction that
are both denominated and measured in the reporting entity's currency. Thus no foreign
currency transaction gain or loss occurred.

5. Suggested answer (b) An ordinary gain included in net income


Receivables or payables denominated in foreign currency should be adjusted to its current
exchange rate at each balance sheet date. "Denominated in a foreign currency" means that
the contract is settled in that currency. The transaction gain or loss arising from this
adjustment should ordinarily be reflected in current income. Because the title passed on
December 15, the liability fixed in LCUs should have been recorded on that date at LCU
exchange rate. The increase in LCU per peso at year-end decreases the peso value of the
liability and results in a foreign currency transaction gain. Such gain is ordinarily treated as a
component of income from continuing operations.

6. Suggested answer (d) of the environment in which the subsidiary primarily generates and
expends cash.
Functional currency translation approach is the method used to convert foreign currency into
units of the reporting currency. It is appropriate for use in accounting for and reporting the
financial results and relationships of foreign subsidiaries in consolidated statements. This
method identifies the functional currency of the entity (the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the foreign entity operates), measures all elements of the financial
statements in the functional currency, and uses a current exchange rate for translation from
the functional currency to the reporting currency.

7. Suggested answer (b) Yes, Yes


When an entity's local currency is the functional currency and this currency has not
experienced significant inflation, translation into the reporting currency of all elements of the
financial statements must be at a current rate. Assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate at the balance sheet rate. Revenue and expenses should be translated at the
rates in effect when they were recognized. However, translation of income statement items
at a weighted average rate for the period is permitted.

8. Suggested answer (d) Uncollectibility of accounts receivable


Derivative financial instruments are contracts that are supposed to protect or hedge one or
more of the parties from adverse movement in the underlying base. The risk of uncollectibility
of accounts receivable can be managed by effective credit policies, and therefore, does not
meet the definition of a financial instrument

9. Suggested answer (d) Discounts on accounts receivable


Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value from changes in a benchmark
based on stock prices, interest rates, mortgage rates, currency rates, commodity prices, or
some other agreed upon base. Thus, discounts on accounts receivable are not the basis of a
benchmark for a derivative financial instrument.

10. Suggested answer (b) No initial net investment or smaller net investment than
required for similar response contracts
Derivative instruments must contain one or more underlyings and one or more notional
amounts. Derivative instruments do contain terms that require or permit net settlement or
delivery of an asset

ANSWER KEY Page 68


Foreign Currency Transactions

11 Suggested answer (b) Must be highly effective throughout its life

Derivative instruments contain the following:


1. One or more underlyings and one or more notional amounts.
2. No initial net investment or smaller net investment than required for contracts with an
expected similar response to market changes.
3. Terms that required or permit net settlement, net settlement by means outside the contract,
and delivery of an asset that is substantially the same as net settlement

12. Suggested answer (d) All of the above could be underlyings


Underlying is any financial or physical variable that has either observable changes or
objectively verifiable changes; thus, all of the above meet the basic definition of an
underying.

13. Suggested answer (a) Number of barrels of oil


Notional amounts are the referenced associated asset or liability that are commonly a
number of units such as barrels of oil.

14. Suggested answer (d) variable annuity contracts.


Derivative instruments include future contracts, credit indexed contracts, and interest rate
swaps, but not variable annuity contracts.

15. Suggested answer (b) An embedded derivative


IAS 39 provides that an embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid or combined
instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the
cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way simitar to a stand-alone instrument.

Note that the embedded derivative is not a separate contract. Both the embedded derivative
and the host contract are contained in one combined instrument.

16. Suggested answer (a) Liquidity risk


Appendix A of IFRS 7 defines liquidity risk as a risk that the entity will encctunter difficulty
in meeting obligation associated with financial liabilities.

17. Suggested answer (a)


The risk that one party to a financial instrument wilt cause a financial loss for the other party
by failing to discharge an obligation. In other words, credit risk is the uncertainty over whether
a counterparty or the party on the other side of the contract will honor the terms of the
contract.

Foreign Currency Transactions – MCQ Problems Page 69


Advance Accounting

18. Suggested answer (c) Embedded derivative instrument


An embedded derivative is a feature of a financial instrument or other contract, which if the
feature stood alone, would meet the definition of a derivative.

19. Suggested answer (a) The embedded derivative meets the definition of a derivative
instrument
The hybrid instrument is not recorded at fair value. Economic characteristics and risks of the
embedded instrument are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. For
bifurcation to occur, the embedded derivative must meet the definition of a derivative
instrument.

20. Suggested answer (d) Separates an embedded derivative from its host contract
Bifurcation is the process of separating an embedded derivative from its host contract. This
process is necessary so that hybrid instrument can be separated into their component parts,
each being accounted for using the appropriate valuation techniques.

21. Suggested answer (a) Trading securities


Hedge accounting is permitted for the following four types of hedges:
1. Unrecognized firm commitments.
2. Available for sale securities.
3. Foreign currency denominated hedge forecasted transactions.
4. Net investment in foreign operations.

22. Suggested answer (a) Sufficient documentation must be provided at the beginning of the
process
The general criteria for a hedging instrument are that sufficient documentation must be
provided at the beginning of the process and the hedge must be highly effective throughout
its life.

23. Suggested answer (a) Fair value hedge


A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized
asset or liability or firm commitment.

24. Suggested answer (a) In current earnings


Fair Value Hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset
or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset,
liability or firm commitment, that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect profit or
loss. It is a protection against risk caused by fixed term, rates and prices.

ANSWER KEY Page 70


Foreign Currency Transactions

1. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings immediately.


2. Gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk should adjust the carrying
amount of the hedged item and be recognized in earnings immediately.

25. Suggested answer (a) Yes No


Fair value hedge will recognize gains and losses for the effective portion of the hedging
instrument in current earnings. Cash flow hedge will recognize gains and losses for the
effective portion of the hedging instrument in other comprehensive income.

26. Suggested answer (c) A recognized asset or liability


The four types foreign currency hedge are unrecognized firm commitment, an available for
sale security, a foreign currency denominated forecasted transaction, and a net investment in
foreign operations. A hedge of a recognized asset or liability is a fair value hedge or cashflow
hedge but not a foreign currency hedge.

27. Suggested answer (c) Credit risk


Credit risk is the risk of accounting loss from a financial instrument due to possible failure
of another party to perform according to the terms of the contract. Off-balance-sheet risk
is the possible amount of loss from an instrument that is not reflected on the balance
sheet. Market risk is the risk that future changes in market prices may make a financial
instrument less valuable.

28. Suggested answer (d) The specific names of the parties associated with the financial
instrument

Current standard requires the following disclosures about credit risk for financial instruments
with off-balance-sheet credit risk:
1. The amount of accounting loss the entity would incur should any party to the financial
instrument fail to perform according to the terms of the contract and the collateral, if
any, is of no value.
2. The class of financial instruments held.
3. Categorization between instruments held for trading purposes and purposes other than
trading.

29. Suggested answer (a) All financial instruments


Concentrations of credit risk exist when an entity has a business activity, economic
characteristic, or location that is common to most of its financial instruments. The standard
requires disclosure of information about significant concentrations of credit risk for all
financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Transactions – MCQ Problems Page 71


Advance Accounting

30. Suggested answer (c) Warranty obligations


The value of derivative financial instruments is typically derived from the value of an
underlying asset or is tied to an index. As the price of the underlying asset changes, the price
of the derivative changes. Outstanding loan commitments written, recourse obligations on
receivables, and future contracts are all tied to an asset account. Warranty obligations are
the result of the sale of goods.

31. Suggested answer (a) It is practicable to estimate those values.


The standard requires entities to disclose the fair market value of financial instruments, both
assets and liabilities whether recognized or not in the financial statement of financial
position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Pertinent descriptive information as
to the fair value of the instrument is to be disclosed if an estimate of fair value cannot be
made without incurring excessive costs.

32. Suggested answer (a) Receive P200,000 from the investment company
If the strike price is equal to current price, the option is said to be at the money. A put option
is said to be in the money, if the strike price is greater than current price; which is the
opposite on the call option (out of the money). Conversely, if the strike price is less than
current price, a call option is in the money, which is out of the money, on the put option.
Based on the foregoing, in the money is a favorable condition as compared to being out of
the money, which is an unfavorable condition.
The current value of an option depends on forward periods and spot prices. The difference
between the strike and spot price, at any point in time, measures the intrinsic value of the
option, so changes in spot prices will change the intrinsic value of the option.
Since in this case, the option is in the money (favorable condition), where the Strike price
(P100) is less'than current stock price (P120), the holder of the option shall receive an
intrinsic value of P200,000 (P120 - 100 x 10,000) from the investment com

33. Suggested answer (c) Regular way purchase or sale


A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract
whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by
regulation or convention in the market place concerned. Under PAS 39, a regular way
purchase or sale is not recognized as a derivative financial instrument.

34. Suggested answer (a) Hedged item


Hedge accounting is where the related changes in the fair values of a financial asset and a
financial liability are offset against each other in some way. In order to use hedge
accounting, an entity will have a hedging instrument and a hedged item.

ANSWER KEY Page 72


Foreign Currency Transactions

The hedging instrument is a financial instrument (which may be a derivative) that is


designated as being the hedging instrument, whose fair value or cash flows are expected to
offset changes in the fair value or cash flows of a designated hedged item; while the hedged
item is an asset or liability or transaction that exposes the entity to risks in the changes in
fair value or future cash flows. On order for the item or transaction to be classified as a
hedged item for accounting purposes it should be specifically designated as being hedged.

36. Suggested answer (c) P1.00/1.025


Rates of exchange between foreign and domestic currencies may be quoted directly or
indirectly. A direct quotation states the value of a single unit of foreign currency in terms of
equivalent domestic currency. While an indirect quotation, states the domestic currency unit
in terms of equivalent foreign currency.
Therefore, the fraction for computing indirect quotation of exchange rate expressed in foreign
currency should be 1.00/1.025. Note the following relationship between a direct and indirect
quotation: Direct quotation = 1/indirect quotation.

39. Suggested answer (d) P26.75


Based on the information provided, the only determinable date of recognizing sale
is when the merchandise was received by the foreign customer, which is in accordance with
the principle of FOB destination. Thus, the appropriate exchange rate for the recognition of
sale should be P26.75, the exchange rate at the date of acceptance.

40 Direct quotation: P56.50^1orP56.50


Indirect quotation: $1-P56.50or$.018

41. Suggested answer (c) P1,925,000


When terms of sale are FOB shipping point, title passes to the buyer with the loading of
goods at the point of shipment. Under these terms, application of the legal rule to a year-end
shipment calls for recognition of a sale. When terms of sale are FOB destination, application
of the legal test calls for no recognition of the transaction until goods are received by the
buyer.
In practice, during an accounting period, purchases are normally recorded when goods are
received and sales are recorded when goods are shipped. IAS 21 provides that except when
a forward exchange contract is entered into, a transaction in a foreign currency should be
recorded in the reporting currency of an entity by applying to the foreign currency amount
the exchange rate existing at the time of the transaction or a rate that approximates the
actual rate. Thus, the sale would be appropriately recorded at P1,925,000 ($70,000x
P27.50).

42.
The sale should be recorded on the date of shipment using the exchange rate on that date.
Therefore the sale to be recorded is P562,000 ($10,000 x P56.20).

43. (d)
Note that in this royalty agreement, 12/31/2011 is the point in which the amount due to the

The year-end accrued would be:
Royalty Expense (5,000 Canadian dollars x P33) 165,000

When a foreign currency transaction in which settlement is denominated in other than a


company's functional currency, foreign currency transaction gain or loss may be recognized
which is the difference between the amount accrued and the amount paid. However, the
requirement is to determine the amount which the company should accrue for royalties
payable, therefore, the year-end accrual would be P139,450, as shown above.

the difference between the peso equivalents using the foreign exchange rates at December
31, 2009 and March 1, 2010 (date of payment).

65. Suggested answer (a) No gain, No loss


Generally, losses from exchange rate changes, on the part of the buyer, may be avoided
by the following:. 1.) to have the transaction denominated in the local currency of the buyer;
2.) to pay the purchase immediately; and 3.) hedging.
'Hedging, normally, involves making a contract with a foreign currency broker to buy or sell
foreign currency in the future. For a fee, a foreign currency broker assumes all the risk
associated with exchange rate changes.
Based on the foregoing information provided in the problem, where a letter of credit was
opened and a 100% deposit cover was made, the bank assumes all the risk associated with
exchange rate changes; therefore, no gain or loss from the exchange rate changes will be
recognized.

66. The forex gain is computed as follows:


Balance sheet date - Dacember 31, 2012 P210,000

Again, when the transaction is not settled in the same accounting period as that in which it
occurred, the gain or loss must be recognized at any intervening balance sheet dates, if
necessary. Since Lindy's functional currency is the Philippine peso, a foreign exchange
transaction gain or loss will result if the spot rate on the settlement date is different from the
rate on the transaction date. Thus in 2009, a P500 foreign exchange transaction gain would
be recognized, and in 2010, a P1,000 foreign exchange transaction loss would be
recognized, as shown above.

Halika (Phil. Co.): The Halika Trading Company (seller/exporter) is engaged in q foreign

received 20 days ago (P0.9875: 1 Baht). A gain of P12.5Q0 [(P1 - P.9875) x 1,000,000]

In the case of the receivable denominated in Japanese yen, a foreign exchange transaction
gain was recorded on the collection of the receivable. This means that more yen was
received, than was recorded in the receivable account. For that to happen the rate of yen
exchangeable for a pesos would have had to decrease, requiring more yen to be paid at
the settlement date for the same amount of pesos at the contract date. On the other hand,
there was a foreign exchange transaction loss on the payable denominated in French
francs. This means that at the settlement date Shore Co. had to pay more francs than were
recorded in the payable account. For this to occur the rate of francs exchangeable for a
peso would have had to decrease, requiring more francs to be paid at the settlement date
for the same amount of pesos at the contract date.

Foreign currency transactions are transactions whose terms are denominated in a currency
other than the entity's functional currency. Foreign currency transaction arises when an
enterprise 1.) buys or sells on credit goods or services whose prices are denominated in
foreign currency; 2.) borrows or lends funds and the amounts payable or receivable are
denominated in foreign currency; 3.) is a party to an unperformed forward exchange contract;
or 4.) for other reasons, acquires or disposes of assets, or incurs or settles liabilities
denominated in foreign currency. Transaction gains or losses result from a change in
exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a foreign currency
transaction is denominated. While, translation adjustments result from the process of
translating financial statements from the entity's functional currency into the reporting
currency.

Again, when speculating in foreign currency, both the fixed liability/receivable and the foreign
currency receivable/payable are recorded in pesos using the forward rate rather than spot
rate. At September 1, 2009 the 60-day forward rate is P22.74, so the transaction is recorded
at P1,137,000. At an intervening balance sheet date, the foreign currency receivable/payable
is adjusted to reflect the new forward rate and any resulting gain or loss is included in the
income statement. At September 30, 2009, when 30 days have gone by, so the 30-day
forward rate is used rather than the 60-day rate, thus, the foreign currency receivable is
adjusted to P1,136,000, resulting to the recognition of loss on foreign exchange transaction
of P1,000.

A gain or loss on speculative contract should be determined by multiplying the foreign
currency amount of the contract by the difference between the forward rate available for
the remaining maturity of the contract and the contracted forward rate. And in some
instances, the forward rate last used to measure a gain or loss on that contract for an
earlier period. In this case, the amount of forward contract as means of speculation is the
excess of the total foreign currency acquired in a forward contract over the foreign
currency used to hedge an exposed position, that is, 20,000 (120,000 -
100,000).

130. Foreign transactions involving forward contracts for speculation are recorded in pesos using
forward rate. In the statement of financial position date, the forward contract receivable and

Baht x P.05).

134. Suggested answer (b) 450,000


Options contracts require the holder to make initial non-refundable cash outlay, known as
premium, as represented by the option's current value. The premium is paid, because the
writer of the option takes more risk than the holder of the option. The holder can allow the
option to expire, while the writer must comply if the holder chooses to exercise it. The option
is valid for a specified period of time and calls for a specified buy or sell price, which is referred
to as the strike price or exercise price.

It is important to note that the original premium certainly is considered when determining
whether an investment in an option has experienced an overall profit. The holder of an option
has a right, rather than an obligation, and will not exercise the option unless it is "in the
money". In that case, the holder will experience a gain, while the writer will experience a loss.

Thus, in this case, the amount to be reported in the statement of comprehensive income of
the holder is the difference between the strike price of P500,000 (50 x 10,000) and the
premium of P50,000 (5 x 10,000) in the amount of P450,000.

135. Suggested answer (a) (100,000)


Swap is a contractual obligation arranged by an intermediary that requires the exchange of
cash flows between two parties. Common examples of swap include foreign currency swap
and interest rate swap. The interest rate swap was entered into because the company feared
that variable rates would increase. In essence, the swap allowed the company to exchange
a variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate as though they had actually issued fixed debt.
As the swap continues, new variable rates will be determined and applied to subsequent
interest payments. This process of determining a new rate for the swap is referred to as
resetting the rate. Generally, the variable interest rate is reset each interest date and is
applied to the subsequent period's interest calculations.

In an interest rate swap, the entities exchange the net difference between the variable and
fixed rates, rather than actually paying and receiving the entire amounts. Thus in this case,
due to decrease in interest rate by 2% (10% -8%). Canary shall pay Crown PI 00.000 (2%

Examinees or students may be misled that since the functional currency is peso, the temporal

wherein goodwill or any fair value adjustments is considered as a non-monetary asset carried

1.5 baht = Plj. But the problem do not fall under this category - the temporal method, instead
it is a classic example of a goodwill and lair value adjustments arising from acquisition of
subsidiares.
Goodwill arising from the Acquisition of Subsidiaries (Date of Acquisition)
When a company acquires a controlling interest in another company, the excess of the
purchase price over the acquirer's interest in the fqir value of the identifiable net assets of
the acquired company is recognized as goodwill on consolidation. In the context of a
foreign company, the issue arises as to whether goodwill is an asset of the acquired
company or an asset in the acquirer's books. If it is an asset of the acquired subsidiary,
the goodwill is a foreign asset which should be translated in the same manner as any other
asset of the acquired subsidiary, which may give rise to a translation difference. However,
if it is treated as an asset in the acquirer's books, there is np need for translation.
PAS 27 par. 47 states that: "Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and
any fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities arising on the
acquisition of that foreign operation shall be treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
operations. Thus, they shall be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation
and shall be translated at the closing rate..."
Subsequent to date of acquisition, accordingly goodwill has to be measured in the
functional currency of the foreign operation. If the functional currency of the foreign
operation is the local currency, the goodwill on acquisition is to be translated at the closing
rate (refer to also Question No. 57). On the other hand, if the functional currency of the
foreign operation is the parent's currency (or the presentation currency), goodwill on
acquisition is treated as a non-monetary asset and remeasured at the exchange rate of
the acquisition of the foreign operation. Question No. 59 shows the translation of goodwill
and Question Nos. 61 and 62 shows the translation of fair value differential under PAS 21
par. 47 stated above.

148. Suggested answer (c) 134,823


IAS 21, IN 15, requires that goodwill and fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities that

method is used.

162. (a)
The subsidiary's operations is integral to the operations of the parent's operations, so] a
remeasurement or temporal method is appropriate. Depreciation is an expense related , to non-
monetary items recorded at past (historical exchange price, therefore, historical rate should be
used to remeasure expenses as follows:
Depreciation expenses:
2010 acquisition: 2,400,000 yens 110 years = 240,000 yens x P.625
P150,000 \
2011 acquisition: 1,200,000 yens 110 years =
120,000 yens x P.556 66,720

163. The depreciation expense is based on the acquisition cost of the plant assets computed as
follows:
2009 acquisition (2,400,000 y-s-10) 240,000
2010 acquisition (1,200,000 y 4-10) 120,000
Total cost 360,000
Average rate for 2011 P 0.521
2011 depreciation expense P187,5 60

164. (d)
Since the foreign operation is integral to the operations of the parent, therefore temporal
method would be most appropriate. In remeasuring amounts of expenses that correspond with
the dates of the underlying transactions, i.e. expense related to nonmonetary assets should
be remeasured using the same rate used in remeasuring the asset account - historical rate.
If transactions are numerous and spread over an extended period of time, an average of the
rates that existed during the period maybe used to provide an approximation for the actual
rates (historical rates), i.e., expenses not related to nonmonetary items should be remeasured
by using average rates for the year.
Therefore,
Bad debts expense (not related to nonmonetary item):
60,000 LCU x P.22 average rate P13,200
Amortization of patent (related to nonmonetary item):
40,000 LCU x P.25, historical rate - date of acquisition 10,000
Rent expense (not related to nonmonetary item):
100,000 LCU x P.22, average rate 22,000
P45,200

165. Using current /closing rate method since expenses were occurred approximately even during the year,
average rate would be more practical to be applied. Therefore, it should be translated at P.44 (120,000
+ 80,000 + 200,000) or P 176,000.

166. Suggested answer (c) P42,000,000


Selling expenses (360,000 x 35) P12,600,000
Salaries and Wages (600,000 x 35) 21,000,000
Depreciation (240,000 x 35) 8,400,000
Consolidated expenses P42,000,000
In accordance with the only one translation method recognized by PAS 21, coupled with the
information provided, that is, the charges to the expense accounts occurred approximately
evenly during the year, all expenses/charges mentioned in the problem shall be translated at
average rate.

167.Suggested answer (d) P45.200


Patent amortization (40,000 x P0.25) P 10,000
Provision for doubtful accounts (60,000 x 0.22) 13,200
Rent (100,000 x 0.22) 22,000
Total remeasured expenses P 45,200
Again, under the only one translation method recognized by PAS 21, assets and liabilities
are translated at the closing rate, and income and expenses are translated at the exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions or at the average rate for the period when this is a
reasonable approximation. Since the standard provides that the dates of the transaction shall
be used to translate income and expenses, the author deemed it proper to adapt the position
of IAS 21 that is, depreciation/amortization should be translated using the exchange rate at
the date of purchase of the asset, unless the asset is carried at fair value, in which case the
rate that existed on the date of such revaluation is to be used.
Thus, the exchange, rate when the patent was acquired was used to translate the
amortization of the patent. Furthermore, in some cases where the acquisition date of
depreciable asset is not known, the author deemed it proper that the average rate shall be
used.
168. (b)
Translation adjustments under current rate method (functional currency is LCU] relating to
foreign subsidiaries are not included in the determination of consolidated income. These
adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income (OCI). Post's receivable from a
foreign customer was denominated in a foreign currency; therefore, changes in the relative
value of the peso and the foreign currency results in exchange gains or losses, which are
included in the determination of net income. The recorded amount of the receivable was PI
10,000 and it was settled for P120,000; thus. Post had a P10,000 foreign exchange gain in
this transaction.
169.
The reported foreign exchange loss is determined as follows:
Foreign exchange loss before adjustment P15,000
Gain on transaction denominated in a foreign currency 4,000
Foreign exchange loss for 2011 P11,000
The payable to the unrelated foreign supplier is a transaction denominated in a foreign
currency. The payable was initially recorded at P64,000. It was included in the December 31,
2011 balance sheet at P60.000. The decrease in the payable represents a P4.000 transaction
gain which is recognized in income from continuing operations in 2011. On the other hand,
the P8,000 loss resulting from the translation of the accounts of the foreign subsidiary is not
recognized in the 2011 income statement. Translation gains and losses translation reserve
are reported in the balance sheet as a separate component of owners' equity.

170. (b)
The goodwill at the date of acquisition is PI00,000 (400,000 baht x PI I 4 baht). At the year-
end it is retranslated to P&O.OOO (400,000 baht x Pl/5 baht). The difference of P20.000
is recorded as an exchange loss and reported in other comprehensive income.
In the consolidated financial statements, any goodwill arising not he acquisition of a foreign
operation should be treated as an asset of the foreign operation. The goodwill should therefore
be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the closing
rate at the date of each statement of financial position. The same treatment is required of any
fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising not he
acquisition of a foreign operation. In both cases exchange differences are recognized in other
comprehensive income, rather than as part of the profit or loss for the period.

171. Suggested answer (c) P 0, P(200,000)


Translation loss on investment (P500,000)
Exchange gain on borrowing 300,000
Net translation loss (P200,000)
The new standard provides that IAS 39 shall be applied to hedge accounting for foreign
currency items, including the hedging of a net investment in a foreign operation. Specifically,
IAS 39 states that the portion of the gain or
loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is to be recognized
directly in equity; whereas, the ineffective portion of the hedge is to be recognized immediately
in results of operations if the hedging instrument is a derivative instrument, or else reported
in equity if the instrument is not a derivative. Thus, the net translation loss of P200,000 should
be presented in the stockholders' equity section of balance sheet.
Furthermore, IAS 21 provides that in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements,
any exchange difference arising from the net investment in a foreign operation should be
reported in other comprehensive income and not in the consolidated profit or loss. If the
foreign entity is subsequently sold, any such exchange differences will form part of the
reported profit or loss on disposal by reclassifying the amount from equity to profit or loss.

172. Suggested answer (a) P11,000


Unadjusted foreign exchange loss PI5,000
Less foreign exchange gain from unrelated foreign
supplier (P64,000 - 60,000) 4,000
Consolidated foreign exchange loss P11,000
PAS 21 recognized only one translation method for foreign operations. Under this method,
assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate, and income and expenses are
translated at the exchange rate at the dates of the transaction (or at the average rate for the
period when it is a reasonable approximation).

ANSWER KEY Page 104


Foreign Currency Transactions

Any exchange differences arising from the translation is recognized in stockholders' equity
as foreign currency translation adjustment.
A foreign currency transaction is a transaction that is denominated or requires settlement in
a foreign currency, which includes, among others, importation and exportation. PAS 21
provides that foreign exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transaction are
included in the measurement of net income for the accounting period in which the exchange
rate changes.

Therefore, the loss resulting from the translation of the accounts of its wholly owned foreign
subsidiary should be reported in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet; while
the foreign exchange loss arising from foreign currency transaction shall be recognized in
income statement.

Since it is a non-monetary assets assumed recorded at book value (or at cost), it is therefore,
necessary to restate such account in accordance with PAS No. 29. Thus, 20,000,000 baht x

180. (b)
As the loan was still outstanding at the end of the period and it is a monetary item, it should
be retranslated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period (1,520,000 yens x
P111.66 yens = P915,663). The exchange difference should be recognized as a gain in
profit or loss for the period. (P1,000,000 less P915,663 = P84,337).

PAS 21 par. 28 states that "Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary
items (i.e. bank loan payable in this case] or on translating monetary items at rates different
from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in
previous financial statements shall be recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they
arise.

Alt assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate (CR). Thus, CR
was used to determine the ending balance of Net Assets, so that the translation gain
should be properly determined.
