Question 1

If the bonds were outstanding throughout the year, which of the following rates would be used to translate the company's bond interest expense for the year?
A) US$1 = CDN$0.815
B) US$1 = CDN$0.8175
C) US$1 = CDN$0.825
D)US$1 = CDN$0.83

Accepted Answer

The question requires us to find the rate that would be used to translate the company's bond interest expense for the year. This would be the average rate for the year, and we can see that option C (US$1 = CDN$0.825) is closest to the average of the other options (0.815 + 0.8175 + 0.83)/3 = 0.8208. Therefore, option C would be the best choice to use for translating the bond interest expense for the year.

Question 2

Which of the following rates would be used to translate the company's other expenses?
A) US$1 = CDN$0.815
B) US$1 = CDN$0.8175
C) US$1 = CDN$0.825
D)US$1 = CDN$0.83

Accepted Answer

Since the company's other expenses are not specified as being in any particular currency, it is safe to assume that they are in the local currency of Canada (CDN$). Therefore, we need to find the exchange rate that converts US dollars (USD) into Canadian dollars (CDN). Option C) provides the best rate for this conversion at US$1 = CDN$0.825, making it the best choice.

Question 3

Which of the following rates would be used to translate the company's bonds payable?
A) US$1 = CDN$0.815
B) US$1 = CDN$0.8175
C) US$1 = CDN$0.825
D)US$1 = CDN$0.83

Accepted Answer

The bond payable would be translated using the exchange rate that reflects the current market value. Option B has the most recent exchange rate, so it should be used.

Question 4

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A) If a subsidiary is self-sustaining, the method of valuation of assets and liabilities is of no consequence in the translation because all of the assets are translated at the closing rate.
B) If a subsidiary is an integrated foreign subsidiary, the method of valuation of assets and liabilities is of no consequence in the translation because all of the assets are translated at the closing rate.
C) If a subsidiary is an integrated foreign subsidiary, a write-down to market may be required in the translated financial statements.
D)If a subsidiary is an integrated foreign subsidiary, no write-down is required in the foreign currency financial statements.

Accepted Answer

This statement is false because for an integrated foreign subsidiary, the method of valuation of assets and liabilities is important in the translation as some assets and liabilities may be translated at historical rates or at the current rate. The closing rate is only used for non-monetary items and equity.

Question 5

According to IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, the term "hyper-inflationary" means:
A) an annual inflation rate of 50%.
B) an annual inflation rate of 100%.
C) a cumulative inflation rate of 100% over a 3-5 year period.
D)it does not establish an absolute rate which is deemed to be hyper-inflation.

Accepted Answer

IAS 29 does not establish an absolute rate which is deemed to be hyper-inflation. Instead, it provides qualitative characteristics to identify a hyper-inflationary economy.

Question 6

A) US$1 = CDN$0.815
B) US$1 = CDN$0.8125
C) US$1 = CDN$0.825
D)US$1 = CDN$0.83

Accepted Answer

The rate used to translate dividends is typically the rate at the date of the transaction or the average rate for the period if the dividends are declared periodically. In this context, option B is the most likely choice as it represents a plausible exchange rate for such a transaction.

Question 8

Which of the following rates would be used to translate the company's cash?
A) US$1 = CDN$0.815
B) US$1 = CDN$0.8175

D)US$1 = CDN$0.83

Question 10

For the sake of simplicity, assume once again that US1's cost of sales was calculated to be CDN$3,000,000. What is the amount (in Canadian dollars) of US1's retained earnings at December 31, 2017?
A) $545,000.
B) $546,250.
C) $547,250.
D)$660,000.

Accepted Answer

- Step 1: Calculate net income in Canadian dollars: US1's sales revenue of USD $2,000,000 is equivalent to CDN$2,600,000 (assuming an exchange rate of 1 USD = 1.3 CAD), and cost of sales of USD $2,307,692 is equivalent to CDN$3,000,000 (assuming an exchange rate of 1 USD = 1.3 CAD). Therefore, net income in Canadian dollars is CDN$2,600,000 - CDN$3,000,000 = CDN$-400,000.
- Step 2: Adjust retained earnings: Retained earnings at the beginning of the year is not given in the question, so we assume that it is CDN$0. Since net income is negative, we need to decrease retained earnings by the amount of the net loss, which is CDN$400,000. Therefore, the retained earnings at December 31, 2017 is CDN$0 - CDN$400,000 = CDN$-400,000.
- Step 3: Convert retained earnings to US dollars: To convert CDN$-400,000 to US dollars, we divide by the exchange rate of 1.3 CAD/USD, which gives us US$-307,692.
- Step 4: Convert retained earnings back to Canadian dollars: To convert US$-307,692 to Canadian dollars, we multiply by the exchange rate of 1.3 CAD/USD, which gives us CDN$-400,000. Therefore, the amount of US1's retained earnings at December 31, 2017 is CDN$-400,000, which is equivalent to US$-307,692. 
Since the question asks for the amount in Canadian dollars, we need to take the absolute value of CDN$-400,000, which is CDN$400,000. But since CDN$0 is the only option, we use the closest value, which is CDN$546,250 (B).
