Temporal Method means net monetary asset is exposed to currency risk.
B. using cash to payoff A/P  => Monetary Asset and Monetary Liability both decreased for the same amount, as a result. No effect on the exposure to currency risk
C. is similar to B
A. Borrowing to reduce Equity, Monetary stays the same while monetary liability increased. Taking depreciation peso into account, the firm is likely to have a gain an currency exchange.

根據LOS表示在使用temporal method會受到利率波動的影響的項目是monetary asset、monetary liability。且目前該子公司是net monetary liability,以本題來說是(cash:1M+AR:11M-AP:9M-LTD:8M=-6M)且該公司的淨monetary liability部位是用peso進行計價,母公司可以從peso貶值中獲益。
所以在
A選項中借款減資cash:1M+AR:11M-AP:9M-(LTD:8M+X)=-6M-X
B選項中(cash:1M-X)+AR:11M-(AP:9M-X)-LTD:8M=-6M跟之前一樣,風險不變。
C選項中(cash:1M+X)+(AR:11M-X)-AP:9M-LTD:8M=-6M跟之前一樣,風險不變。
