B) functional currency is some currency other that the local currency or the U.S. dollar. C) local currency is the functional currency. Correct answer is C) The basis for using the all current method is when Functional Currency is NOT the same as Parent's Presentation (reporting) Currency.

A) The Inventory account is remeasured using the historical rate under both LIFO and FIFO. B) If the firm accounts for inventory using first in, first out (FIFO), then a more current rate will be applied to the inventory account. C) If the firm accounts for inventory using last in, first out (LIFO), then the beginning-of-period rate is used to remeasure COGS. Correct answer is C) Under LIFO, the last goods purchased are the first goods out to COGS. Hence, although technically the historical rate is used to remeasure COGS, a more recent rate is typically more appropriate for COGS under LIFO. Q13.
