Chapter 8:Translation of ForeignCurrency FinancialStatementsConceptual issues of foreign currency financial statements translationDifference between balance sheet exposure and transaction exposureMethods of financial statement translationTemporal and current rate methods illustratedU.S. GAAP, IFRS, and other standards related to translationHedging of balance sheet exposure Chapter Topics 8-2Learning Objectives Describe the conceptual issues involved in translating foreign currency financial statementsExplain balance sheet exposure and how it differs from transaction exposureDescribe the concepts underlying the current rate and temporal methods of translationApply the current rate and temporal methods of translation and compare the results of the two methodsDescribe the requirements of applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)Discuss hedging of balance sheet exposure8-3Two conceptual issuesAppropriate exchange rate to be used in translating each financial statement itemHow should the translation adjustment that inherently arises from the translation process be reflected in the consolidated financial statements8-4Balance Sheet ExposureAssets and liabilities translated at the current exchange rate are exposed to risk of a translation adjustmentWhen foreign currency appreciates, a net asset exposure results in a positive translation adjustmentWhen foreign currency appreciates, a net liability exposure results in a negative translation adjustmentAssets and liabilities translated at the historical exchange rate are not exposed to a translation adjustment8-5Translation MethodsCurrent/Noncurrent Method Current assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rateNoncurrent assets and liabilities and stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical exchange ratesThere is no theoretical basis for this methodMethod is seldom used in any countries and is not allowed by U.S. GAAP or IFRS8-6Translation MethodsMonetary/Nonmonetary MethodConcerns with monetary assets and liabilitiesTranslated at the current exchange rateConcerns with nonmonetary assets and liabilities and stockholders’ equity accountsTranslated at historical exchange ratesThe translation adjustment measures the net foreign exchange gain or loss on current assets and liabilities as if these items were carried on the parent’s books8-7Translation MethodsTemporal MethodObjective is to translate financial statementsAs if the subsidiary had been using the parent’s currencyItems carried on subsidiary’s books at historical cost Including all stockholders’equity items, are translated at historical exchange ratesItems carried on subsidiary’s books at current value are translated at current exchange ratesIncome statement items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction8-8Translation MethodsCurrent Rate MethodObjective is to reflect that the parent’s entire investment in a foreign subsidiary is exposed to exchange riskAll assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rateEquity accounts are translated at historical exchange ratesRevenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of accounting recognition8-9Translation of Retained EarningsStockholders’ equity items are translated at historical exchange rates under both the temporal and current rate methodsThis creates somewhat of a problem in translating retained earnings, which is a composite of many previous transactions:Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, and declared dividends occurring over the life of the company8-10Complicating Aspects of the Temporal MethodKeeping track of the historical rates for inventory, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and intangible assets is necessary under temporal method and not under current rate methodTranslating these assets at historical rates makes application of the temporal method more complicated than the current rate methodCalculation of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)Application of the Lower of Cost or Market RuleFixed Assets, Depreciation, Accumulated Depreciation8-11DISPOSITION OF TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENTTranslation gain or loss in net incomeTranslation adjustment is considered to be a gain or loss analogous to the gains and losses arise from foreign currency transactionShould be reported in income in the period in which the fluctuation in exchange rate occursCumulative translation adjustment in stockholders’ equityThe alternative to reporting the translation adjustment as a gain or loss in net income is to include it in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive incomeThis treatment defers the gain or loss in stockholders’ equity until it is realized in some way8-12Temporal and Current Rate MethodsTranslation methods illustratedU.S. Inc. owns Juarez, SA, a subsidiary in Mexico which was established January 1, 2010Juarez’s balance sheet items as of 12/31/10, in pesos:Cash 1,000 Accounts payable 2,000Accounts rec. 2,000 Long-term debt 6,000Inventory 2,500 Capital stock
