Q35. What will Jameson find to be the U.S. dollar impact of Kasamatsu's total selling expenses on WB's financial statements (in thousands of dollars)?

A)   $3,220.

B)   $3,450.

C)   $4,150.

Correct answer is B)

Total selling expenses include cost of goods sold, depreciation, and SG&A. Kasamatsu reported a total of JP 483,000. Since these are all income statement items they must all be translated at the average 2002 exchange rate of 140 JP/US$. Therefore, the calculation is:

483,000

140

= 3,450

Both remaining answers use incorrect exchange rates.

The total value of net monetary assets is equal to:

A)   -4,000 SF.

B)   12,000 SF.

C)   3,000 SF.

Correct answer is A)

The basis for using the all current method is when Functional Currency is NOT the same as Parent's Presentation (reporting) Currency. The basis for using the temporal method is when Functional Currency = Parent's Presentation Currency.

Monetary assets and liabilities include cash, A/R, A/P and Long-term debt. Hence, net monetary assets is equal to 3,000 − (2,000 + 5,000) = -4,000 SF.

A)   $1,750.

B)   $1,400.

C)     $1,167. B)

The basis for using the all current method is when Functional Currency is NOT the same as Parent's Presentation (reporting) Currency. The basis for using the temporal method is when Functional Currency = Parent's Presentation Currency.
Since the Australian $ is both the local and the functional currency, use the current rate method. The items in the income statement are translated at the average exchange rate under FASB 52. The average rate is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5 Australian dollars = $1.

Income Statement (in $)

Sales (3,500 / 2.5)

$1,400

Costs (2,900 / 2.5)

$1,160

Net Income

$240
