问题如下:
If the current rate method is used to translate Acceletron’s financial statements into US dollars, Redline’s consolidated financial statements will most likely include Acceletron’s:
选项:
A.USD3,178 million in revenues.
B.USD118 million in long-term debt.
C.negative translation adjustment to shareholder equity.
解释:
A is correct.
Under the current rate method, revenue is translated at the average rate for the year, SGD4,800 × 0.662 = USD3,178 million. Debt should be translated at the current rate, SGD200 × 0.671 = USD134 million. Under the current rate method, Acceletron would have a net asset balance sheet exposure. Because the Singapore dollar has been strengthening against the US dollar, the translation adjustment would be positive rather than negative.
考点:current rate method
解析:
A:在current rate method下,revenue 用average rate转换,即SGD4,800 × 0.662 = USD3,178 million.
B: debt使用current rate转换,即SGD200 × 0.671 = USD134 million
C: current rate method下,expouse=(total asset- total liability) >0, 是net asset exposure,由于Singapore dollar相较于US dollar一直升值,所以net asset exposure用一个更大的汇率转换之后会变大,资产增加对企业来说是好事,所以产生translation gain。 current rate method下translation gain or loss是确认在CTA里面的(equity里)。所以是 positive translation adjustment to shareholder equity。
哪里看出来新加坡升值的呢
题目写的是新加坡元有mild inflation, 那应该是新加坡元贬值吧?
