Inflation data of a foreign country for three years are as follows:The cumulative three-year inflation rate is:(a) 45%(b) 90%(c) 120%(d)180%
Solution 1: Fays net exchange loss
will be: $15,000 $8,000 + ($64,000 $60,000) = $11,000 As, $8,000 is the profit
from equity adjustment and firm had made a loss of $4,000 on the payables from
the date of invoice. So, Option A Solution 2: Inventory
Balance on December 31, 2011 = 25,000 LCU Exchange
rate on December 31, 2011 = 2 LCU to $1 So Inventory
balance in USD on December 31,2011 = 25,000 / 2 = $12,500 Answer: Option D Solution 3: Total
Depreciation for the year = 3,600,000 / 10 = 360,000 Rate of
exchange on December 31, 2013 = 2 LCU to $1 SO,
Depreciation amount on December 31, 2013 = 360,000 / 2 = $180,000 Answer: Option A Solution 4: Rate of
exchange of 5.9 LCU to $1 should be used as this is the exchange rate on
December 31, 2011 when we
nt to see the value of the dividend. Answer: Option C Solution 5 Exchange
rate used will be 1.5 LCU to $1 as this is the effective rate on December 31,
2011. So, long
term debt = 1,500,000 / 1.5 = $1,000,000 And,
long term receivables = 2,400,000 / 1.5 = $1,600,000 Answer: Option D Solution 6: $475,000
should be included as on 31 December, 2011 as these are the current rates and
we use current exchange rates. Answer: Option C Solution 7: Cumulative
inflation will be: (330-150)/150 = 120% Answer: Option C
