Triofind, Inc. (Triofind), based in the country of Norvolt, provides wireless services to various countries, including Norvolt, Borliand, Abuelio, and Certait. The company’s presentation currency is the Norvolt euro (NER), and Triofind complies with IFRS. Triofind has two wholly owned subsidiaries, located in Borliand and Abuelio. The Borliand subsidiary (Triofind-B) was established on 30 June 2016, by Triofind both investing NER1,000,000, which was converted into Borliand dollars (BRD), and borrowing an additional BRD500,000.
Marie Janssen, a financial analyst in Triofind’s Norvolt headquarters office, translates Triofind-B’s financial statements using the temporal method. Non-monetary assets are measured at cost under the lower of cost or market rule. Spot BRD/NER exchange rates are presented in Exhibit 1, and the balance sheet for Triofind-B is presented in Exhibit 2.
Janssen next analyzes Triofind’s Abuelio subsidiary (Triofind-A), which uses the current rate method to translate its results into Norvolt euros. Triofind-A, which prices its goods in Abuelio pesos (ABP), sells mobile phones to a customer in Certait on 31 May 2017 and receives payment of 1 million Certait rand (CRD) on 31 July 2017.
On 31 May 2017, Triofind-A also received NER50,000 from Triofind and used the funds to purchase a new warehouse in Abuelio. Janssen translates the financial statements of Triofind-A as of 31 July 2017 and must determine the appropriate value for the warehouse in Triofind’s presentation currency. She observes that the cumulative Abuelio inflation rate exceeded 100% from 2015 to 2017. Spot exchange rates and inflation data are presented in Exhibit 3.
Janssen gathers corporate tax rate data and company disclosure information to include in Triofind’s annual report. She determines that the corporate tax rates for Abuelio, Norvolt, and Borliand are 35%, 34%, and 0%, respectively, and that Norvolt exempts the non-domestic income of multinationals from taxation. Triofind-B constitutes 25% of Triofind’s net income, and Triofind-A constitutes 15%. Janssen also gathers data on components of net sales growth in different countries, presented in Exhibit 4.
Based on Exhibit 3, the value of the new warehouse in Abuelio on Triofind’s balance sheet as of 31 July 2017 is closest to:
选项:
A.NER31,452.
B.NER47,964.
C.NER50,000.
解释:
B is correct. Triofind complies with IFRS, and Abuelio can be considered a highly inflationary economy because its cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100% from 2015 to 2017. Thus, Triofind-A’s financials must be restated to include local inflation rates and then translated using the current exchange rate into Norvolt euros, which is Triofind’s presentation currency. This approach reflects both the likely change in the local currency value of the warehouse as well as the actual change in the exchange rate. The original purchase price is ABP1,008,065 (NER50,000/ABP0.0496). The value of the new warehouse in Abuelio as of 31 July 2017 is NER47,964, calculated as follows:
考点:hyperinflation情况下的的translation方法。
解析:T公司遵循IFRS,应该先restate子公司的报表,然后再使用current exchange rate进行转换。购买仓库是T公司给的钱,转换成ABP是50,000/0.0496=1,008,065,restate后是1,008,065*(1+25%)(1+22%)=1,537,299ABP,然后再用current exchange rate转换:1,537,299*0.0312=47,964NER。
这里的monthly inflation rate是什么意思?为什么两个直接相乘就可以?所对应的month分别是哪个月份?
