Charleston Corporation operates a branch operation in a foreign country. Although this branch operates in euros, the U. S. dollar is its functional currency. Thus, a remeasurement is necessary to produce financial information for external reporting purposes. The branch began the year with 528,000 euros in cash and no other assets or liabilities. However, the branch immediately used 300,000 euros to acquire a warehouse. On May 1, it purchased inventory costing 100,000 euros for cash that it sold on July 1 for 160,000 euros cash. The branch transferred 10,000 euros to the parent on October 1 and recorded depreciation on the warehouse of 10,000 euros for the year.

Explanation:

The figures will have to be converted from Euros to US$ for the calculation.

The relevant exchange rate will be the rate on the date of the transaction.

                                                              Amount      Exchange rate    $Amount

Opening cash                                     528,000           1.14                   ‭601,920‬

Increase in Cash assets:

Sale of inventory                                 160,000             1.20                192,000

                                                            688,000                                   793,920‬

Decrease in cash assets:

Acquisition of warehouse                 300,000             1.14                (342,000)

Purchase of inventory                       100,000              1.18                (118,000)

Transfer to parent                              10,000                1.18                 (11,800)

Ending net cash assets                     278,000 ‭                                  322,120‬

Remeasurement gain(loss) at 31 December = Ending net cash assets at current rate - Ending net cash assets

= (278,000 * 1.08) - 322,120

= ‭300,240‬ - 322,120

= ($21,970)
