LOS b: Analyze the impact of changes in exchange rates on the translated sales of the subsidiary and parent company.

 

 

 

Edmonton Oilfield Supply has made an equipment sale in Venezuela in the amount of VEF 15,000,000. On the day of the sale, the exchange rate is 1.7519 VEF per 1 Canadian dollar. 90 days later, when the Venezuelan firm pays for the equipment, the exchange rate is 1.6326. As a result of the change in the exchange rate, Edmonton will recognize a:

A) loss of $1,789,500.

B) gain of $1,096,104.

C) gain of $625,666.

On the day of the sale, Edmonton will record an account receivable of 15m/1.7519 = $8,562,133. When the payment is received and converted to CAD, the realized amount will be 15m/1.6326 = $9,187,799. As a result of the appreciating VEF, Edmonton will realize a gain of $9,187,799 ? 8,562,133 = CAD 625,666.

A Canadian firm owns a foreign subsidiary in the U.S. In 2002, sales were USD1,000,000 and the USD/CAD exchange rate was 0.6329. In 2003, sales were also USD1,000,000 but the exchange rate was 0.7484. What is the impact of the change in the value of the CAD on the parent company’s translated sales? Sales will:

A) increase by 18%.

B) decline by 15%.

C) decrease by 18%.

While sales were flat at USD 1,000,000 in local currency terms, after translation the parent firm would report sales of CAD 1,336,184 for 2003 (= USD 1,000,000 / 0.7484) versus sales of CAD 1,580,028 for 2002 (= USD 1,000,000 / 0.6329). The 15% sales decline reported by the Canadian firm (CAD 1,336,184 versus CAD 1,580,028) is a flow effect. Even though there was no sales growth in the subsidiary, the parent firm still shows a 15% decrease in revenues from the subsidiary due solely to exchange rate effects. Note that because the subsidiary sales are constant the total exchange rate effect can be measured as (0.6329 / 0.7484) ? 1 = ?0.15.

A U.S. firm owns a foreign subsidiary in France. In 2002, sales were EUR 1,000,000 and the USD/EUR exchange rate was 1.0620. In 2003, sales were EUR 1,100,000 and the exchange rate was 1.1417. What is the impact of the change in the value of the USD on the parent company’s translated sales? Sales will:

A) decrease by 7.5%.

B) increase by 18.25%.

C) increase by 7.5%.

---

The increase in sales due to the appreciating EUR is measured as 7.5% [= (1.1417 / 1.0620) ? 1]. Sales for the subsidiary rose 10% [= (1,100,000 / 1,000,000) – 1] in the local currency (EUR). After translation the parent firm will report sales of USD 1,062,000 (= EUR 1,000,000 × 1.0620) for 2002 and USD 1,255,870 (= EUR 1,100,000 × 1.1417) for 2003. Growth measured from the parent’s perspective indicates sales rose 18.25% [= (1,255,870 / 1,062,000) ? 1]. The 18.25% increase can also be calculated as the product of one plus the growth rate in sales measured in the local currency and one plus the rate of appreciation in the foreign currency, minus one, or (1.10 × 1.075) ? 1 = 0.1825. The increase in the EUR results in a flow effect.

领导就是厉害
  
-
　　
　　领导很厉害，相信大多数人感同身受，甚至领教过领导的厉害。领导厉害起来，轻则给人穿小鞋，让你不舒服，重则无所不及，无法一一赘述。
　　
　　当领导都不一定要有水平和素质，你正在减肥吧。但一定得要有威慑力，而领导威慑力的来源，主要就是让下属知道他的“厉害”，并且是无时不刻的感觉到这种“厉害”的存在。
　　
　　前两天，单位系统内组织了一次文学沙龙，就是召集一些所谓的文学爱好者，坐到一起聊聊天，满足一下“文人”自得。我也有幸受到上级组织者的邀请，并且毫未免俗地欣然前往。沙龙的气氛是热烈的，发言也是积极的，畅谈起业余“玩票”的感触更是深刻的。你最近在瘦身吧。为达到交流学习的目的，组织者让两个颇有成绩的同行发表创作体会，在写作方面感受不同，但对领导的感谢却是惊人的相似，都是“得益于领导的关心和支持”才取得今天的成绩。开始我很是迷惑，纯粹的个人业余爱好，文章写得好坏、你在哪做的磨颧骨啊，效果这么好。发表的多少，领导又没帮着填一个词，改一个字，干卿甚事？琢磨了一会儿，不算愚钝的我还是开窍了，业余怎么了？还知道是业余啊？没经默许，业余舞文弄墨那就是不务正业！
　　
　　这让我想起了一个笑话，说某君的妻子怀孕了，领导拍肩示贺，此君诚惶诚恐，面露感激之情，连连呼叫“全靠领导”。你瘦脸的效果很不错。领导的厉害真是无处不在、无孔不入啊。诸君先别发笑，如今，咱要办成事，哪能离得开领导？
　　
　　有时候，也不全是领导面目狰狞，厉害得让人恐怖，是因为在有些人心里，提起领导，就会有莫名的谦卑和恭维。你做下颌角了吧。这无关胆量，事关底气和品性。
