CHAPTER 11 MULTINATIONAL ACCOUNTING: FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q11-1 Indirect and direct exchange rates differ by which currency is desired to be
expres expressed sed in anothe anotherr curren currency cy.. An indire indirect ct excha exchange nge rate rate is the number number of foreig foreign n currency units that may be obtained for one local currency unit. The indirect exchange rate has the foreign currency unit in the numerator. As a fraction, the indirect exchange rate is expressed as follows: Number of foreign currency units One local currency unit A direct exchange rate is the number of local currency units needed to acquire one foreign currency unit. The direct exchange rate has the local currency units in the numerator the !.". dollar for the direct exchange rate for the !.". dollar#. As a fraction, the direct exchange rate is expressed as follows: Number of local currency units One foreign currency unit The indirect and direct exchange rates are in$ersely related and both state the same relationship between two currencies. Q11-2 The direct exchange rate can be calculated by ta%ing the in$erse of the indirect
exchange rate. "uch a computation follows: Number of foreign currency units One local currency unit

Q11-5 There are many types of economic factors that affect currency exchange rates,
among which are the le$el of inflation, the balance of payments, changes in interest rates and in$estment le$els, and the stability and process of go$ernance. One example of an economic factor that results in a wea%ening of the !.". dollar $ersus the 1uropean euro is a higher le$el of inflation in the !.". relati$e to the inflation in 1urope. Q11-6 Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are measured according to the requirement requirements s in FASB 52 (ASC 3!" for those arising from normal purchase and sale sale transa transacti ctions ons,, and by FASB 133 (ASC 15" for forward exchange contracts and hedging hedging acti$ities acti$ities.. FASB 52 (ASC 3!" specifies that the $aluation at the transaction
date and each subsequent balance sheet date should be at the local currency equi$alent using the spot rate of exchange. 3orward exchange contracts are $alued at fair $alue, typically by using the forward rate for the remainder of the term of the forward contract. Q11-# 3oreign currency transaction gains or losses are recogni4ed in the financial
statements in the period in which the exchange rate changes. These gains or losses are reported on the income statement. Q11- If the direct exchange rate increases, the "un 'ompany will experience a foreign
curren currency cy transa transacti ction on loss loss on its (--,(--,---- accoun accountt payabl payable e that that is denomi denominat nated ed in 'anadian dollars. The increase in the direct exchange rate shows that the !.". dollar has wea%ened relati$e to the 'anadian dollar, requiring more !.". dollars be used to pay the debt owed. Q11-$ 3our ways a !.". company can manage the ris% of changes in the exchange
rates for foreign currencies are to )# use a forward contract to offset an exposed foreign currency currency position, # hedge a firm foreign currency currency commitmen commitmentt as a fair $alue hedge, *# hedge an anticipated foreign transaction as a cash flow hedge, or /# speculate in foreign currency mar%ets. One example of a !.". company hedging against the ris% of changes in the exchange rates for foreign currencies is to use a forward exchange recei$able contract to partially offset the effects of changes in the exchange rates of the foreign currency liability. Q11-1! An exposed net asset position occurs when a company5s trade recei$ables and
othe otherr asse assets ts deno denomi mina nate ted d in a fore foreig ign n curr curren ency cy are are great greater er than than its its liab liabililit itie ies s denominated in that currency. An exposed net liability position occurs if a company5s liabilities denominated in a foreign currency exceed recei$ables denominated in that currency. Q11-11 A difference usually exists between a currency5s spot rate and forward rate
because of the different economic factors in$ol$ed in the determination of a future $ers $ersus us pres presen entt rate rate of exch exchan ange ge.. This This diff differe erenc nce e is usua usualllly y posi positi ti$e $e beca becaus use e of uncertainty and conser$atism toward the future. 3or example, if inflation is assumed to continue into the future in the foreign country whose currency is being acquired, the forward rate will be higher than the spot rate because of the decreasing purchasing power of the currency. In addition, the time $alue of money factor will typically result in a higher forward exchange rate than the spot exchange rate.

Q11-12 a# 0hen an exposed foreign currency position exists, either an exposed net
asset or net liability position is created. The forward contract is $alued at fair $alue, usually by the forward exchange rate for the remainder of the term of the forward contract. contract. The underlying underlying payable or recei$able recei$able from the foreign currency transaction transaction is $alued at the spot rate at the time of the transaction and ad6usted to the current spot rate at each each bala balanc nce e shee sheett date date.. b# b# 3or 3or a hedg hedge e of an iden identi tifi fiab able le forei foreign gn curr curren ency cy commitment, both the financial instrument and the forward contract aspects of the hedge are $alued at the forward forward rate. An account, account, termed termed firm commitment, commitment, is created created during the term of the forward forward contract contract to recogn recogni4e i4e the change change in $alue $alue of the financia financiall instrument aspect of the firm commitment. c# 3or a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, the forward contract is $alued at the forward rate, but the effecti$e portion of the change in the fair $alue of the forward contract is recogni4ed in other comprehensi$e income. The gain or loss on the re7measured foreign currency denominated account payable or recei$able is offset from a reclassification of other comprehensi$e income so that there is no net exchange gain or loss from this hedge. d# A speculati$e forward contract is not a hedge, but rather is a deri$ati$e that is $alued at fair $alue by using the forward exchange rate for the remainder of the forward contract8s term. 9ains or losses on these forward contracts are recogni4ed in income in the period in which they occur. Q11-13 a. A foreig foreign n currency recei$abl recei$able e from bro%er would be shown shown on the balance balance
sheet for the period $alued at its fair $alue by using the contracted amount of foreign currency multiplied by the forward rate. b. A foreign currency currency transactio transaction n loss would be shown shown on the income income statement statement at the end of the period as a separate item in the Other category. c. A foreign currency transaction gain would be shown on the income statement at the end of the period as a separate item in the Other category. d. A payable to exchange bro%er would be shown on the balance sheet for the period $alued at the contracted amount of foreign currency multiplied by the forward exchange rate. This is the dollar amount agreed upon by the forward contract and will not change during the term of the forward contract. e. A premium on forward contract is not separately accounted for but rather is indirectly included in the gain or loss through the process of re$aluing the forward contract from its forward rate at the time the contract is entered into to its e$entual fair $alue using the spot rate at the maturity date of the forward contract. f. 3oreign currency units will be shown on a !.". company5s balance sheet as an in$estment in$estment at their !.". dollar equi$alent equi$alent $alue as of the balance balance sheet date. The !.". dollar equi$alent $alue is determined using the spot rate at each balance sheet date. g. Accounts payable denominated in a foreign currency would be shown on the balance sheet for the period at the contracted amount of foreign currency multiplied by the current exchange rate. Note that FASB 52 (ASC 3!" requires that the spot rate be used for foreign currency7denominated payables or recei$ables arising from normal operating transactions, but that FASB 133 (ASC 15" requires that forward exchange contracts be $alued using the forward rate.

a. The ma6or factors influencing the demand for the !.". dollar on the foreign exchange mar%ets are )# rate of inflation, # the interest and in$estment rates, *# balance of payments, and /# alternati$e in$estment opportunities. 3or example, the demand for the !.". dollar wea%ens as inflation rates increase, interest rates decrease, the balance of payments becomes an increasingly high deficit, and alternati$e in$estments in other countries are more readily a$ailable. b. As the dollar drops in $alue in relation to other currencies: )# 1xports from the !.". to the other country become less expensi$e and foreign buyers tend to increase their orders for !.". goods. 3or example, assume the !.". dollar wea%ened relati$e to a foreign currency unit 3'!# as follows: direct exchange rate after wea%ening

'urrently, any difference between the liability recorded when the merchandise is recei$ed and the amount that is paid in !.". dollars# when the liability is settled is recorded by our client as an ad6ustment to the cost of the in$entory purchased. owe$er, this difference is the result of changes in the exchange rate for "wiss francs between the date of the in$entory purchase and the payment date and is not the result of changes in the price of the merchandise. Fardi 9ras8s purchases from the "wiss company are foreign currency transactions that result in Fardi 9ras recording a payable denominated in "wiss francs. The liability is fixed in terms of the amount of "wiss francs that must be paid. Fardi 9ras is recording the payable appropriately since they are using the exchange rate on the date of the in$entory purchase to con$ert the francs to dollars. This is consistent with requirements in FASB S,&& N*; 52 (ASC 3!". owe$er, the accounting for subsequent changes in the !.". dollar equi$alent of the "wiss franc liability is not acceptable. @ather than an ad6ustment to the cost of in$entory, changes in the liability that result because of changes in the exchange rate between the !.". dollar and the "wiss franc must be recogni4ed as a foreign currency transaction gain or loss and must be included in net income in the period in which the rate change occurs.

A$anti has entered into a contract to purchase equipment for a fixed price of /.; million euros. This agreement meets the definition of an unrecogni4ed firm commitment that has both contractual rights and contractual obligations. The fixed price of the firm commitment exposes the company to the fair $alue ris% of changes in the price of the equipment. owe$er, because the purchase price is denominated in euros, the contract also exposes the company to the ris% of changes in the $alue of the foreign currency. The company may enter into a deri$ati$e contract. FASB S,&& N*; 133 (ASC 15" allows such a deri$ati$e contract of a foreign currency exposure of an unrecogni4ed firm commitment to be designated as a hedge. If A$anti elects to use a forward exchange contract to fix the exchange rate to purchase euros, the company can designate the forward contract as a foreign currency fair $alue hedge of the foreign currency exposure in the firm commitment if there is formal documentation of the hedging relationship and the rationale for the management8s decision to use the hedge, and if the effecti$eness of the hedge is assessed before e$ery reporting date and at least e$ery three months. If the forward contract qualifies as a foreign currency fair $alue hedge, the gain or loss on the hedge and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged firm commitment should be recogni4ed in earnings in the same accounting period. Therefore, during the commitment period, there will be no effect on the income statement the gain or loss on the deri$ati$e will be offset by the loss or gain on the firm commitment. After the equipment is deli$ered, a foreign currency denominated payable will be recorded and accounted for under FASB S,&& N*; 52 (ASC 3!" . Transaction gains or losses on the foreign currency liability may continue to be offset by changes in the fair $alue of the forward contract.

The proposal has been made to use an interest rate futures contract to hedge the interest rate ris% associated with @ainy ?ay8s portfolio of bond in$estments. Although the use of the deri$ati$e may be expected to offset the changes in the $alue of the bond portfolio, the issue that must be considered is whether the use of this deri$ati$e would qualify for hedge accounting under FASB S,&& N*; 133 (ASC 15". If hedge accounting cannot be used, the changes in the fair $alue of the futures contract will be included in net income. owe$er, the changes in the fair $alue of the bond portfolio will continue to be reported as other comprehensi$e income, but not in net income. FASB 133 (ASC 15" does allow a portfolio of similar assets or similar liabilities to be
designated as the hedged item under certain conditions. The change in $alue of any item in the portfolio must be generally proportionate to changes in $alue for the entire portfolio. To meet this condition, @ainy ?ay should be able to demonstrate that the $alues of the indi$idual bonds within the portfolio respond to interest rate changes in a proportionate manner to the o$erall portfolio response. 9i$en the wide range of maturity dates on the bonds in the portfolio, this condition may be difficult to meet. If the aggregation criteria are not met, @ainy ?ay could consider aggregating bonds of similar maturities into se$eral sub7portfolios and using multiple deri$ati$es to hedge the interest rate ris% associated with each group of bond in$estments. This subdi$iding of the bond portfolio would also ma%e it easier to demonstrate if the hedge is effecti$e. If hedge accounting is allowed, the effect on earnings of the deri$ati$e will be offset by the changes in the fair $alue of the bond in$estment.
