A)	high balance sheet values for long term assets.

B)	high translation gains.

C)	low balance sheet values for long term liabilities.

Under U.S. GAAP, the temporal method is preferred to the current rate method in hyperinflationary economies because the temporal method:

A)	is easier to perform under hyperinflation.

B)	results in non-monetary asset values that are a better proxy for the economic values of those assets.

C)	provides better conversions of subsidiary revenues.

The temporal method results in non-monetary asset values that are a better proxy for the economic values of those assets than those obtained under the current rate method. Both methods convert revenues and SG&A at the average rate so there could be no clear preference when considering these measures.

Which translation method should be used under a hyperinflationary economy when using U.S. GAAP?

A)	All-current, because dividends are translated at the rate that applied when they were issued.

B)	Monetary/non-monetary, because all monetary accounts are translated at the historical rate.

C)	Temporal, because all non-monetary accounts are re-measured at the historical rate.

The temporal method is more appropriate because all non-monetary accounts are remeasured at the historical rate. Under IFRS, the financials would be restated for inflation, and then translated under the current rate method.

A)	Parent's currency.

B)	Local currency.

C)	Subsidiary's operating currency.

The functional currency should be the parent's currency. Under IFRS, the firm would restate the financials for inflation, and then translate under the current rate method.

In reality, what best describes the real value of non-monetary assets and liabilities in a hyperinflationary environment?

A)	Typically not affected because their local currency-denominated values decrease to offset the impact of inflation.

B)	All non-monetary accounts are re-measured at the current rate.

C)	Typically not affected because their local currency-denominated values increase to offset the impact of inflation.

Typically not affected because their local currency-denominated values increase to offset the impact of inflation (i.e., real estate values typically rise with inflation).
