CHAPTER 12 MULTINATIONAL ACCOUNTING: ISSUES IN FINANCIAL REPORTING AND TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN ENTITY STATEMENTS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q12-1 Expected benefits of adopting a single set of high-quality accounting standards include: 1. Continued expansion of capital markets across national borders. 2. Faster a ailability of financial statements that pro ide needed information to in estors in countries !here standards ha e not pre iously focused on information needs of in estors. ". #ore rapid de elopment of stable$ liquid capital markets. %. &ncreased economic gro!th. '. &mpro e ability of in estors to e aluate opportunities across national borders. (. &mpro e the efficient use of global capital. ). *educe reporting costs for corporations that !ish to access capital in markets outside of their home country. +. &ncrease confidence of financial statement users in the quality of financial reporting. Q12-2 ,he &-./ is an independent$ pri ately funded accounting standards-setting body. the mission of the &-./ is to de elop a single set of high-quality$ understandable$ and enforceable global accounting standards. ,he &-./ is composed of 1% members !ho each ser e a fi e-year term sub0ect to one reappointment. #embers are required to se er all employment relationships that might compromise their independent 0udgement in setting accounting standards. ,he &-./ is based in 1ondon. Q12-3 ,he &-./ solicits input from the public !hen e aluating potential standards and publishes a discussion paper and2or an exposure draft !hich are sub0ect to comment before issuing a final standard. Q12-4 &F*. are already mandated or permitted in o er 133 countries around the !orld. /eginning !ith 233'$ the European 4nion mandated the use of &F*. for companies listing on stock exchanges in the E4$ although the E4 also continues to accept statements prepared according to 4. 5--6. /eginning in 233+$ foreign pri ate issuers !ho list their shares on 4. stock exchanges may use &F*. in their financial statements !ithout reconciliation to 4. 5--6. Q12-5 ,he .EC is considering allo!ing 4. companies to use &F*. in their financial reports. ,he .EC held roundtable discussions in 7ecember 233). -mong those participating in the roundtable$ there !as o er!helming support for adopting for the use of a single of global standards$ and the ma0ority of the panellists agreed that &F*. ultimately !ill be the standard. ,here !as general agreement among roundtable participants that the .EC should specify a date by !hich 4. issuers !ould be required to prepare financial statements in accordance !ith &F*.. ,he target date most often mentioned should con ersion be required is 2311$ to coincide !ith the adoption of &F*. by a number of other countries including Canada and &ndia.

Q12-6 &mpro e global competiti e position of 4. corporations. &ncrease the quality of information a ailable to in estors. *educe costs of compliance for companies that are currently using multiple reporting frame!orks. Enhance global capital markets. Companies !ould ha e easier access to raising capital in the global markets. /ecause .EC no! permits foreign pri ate issuers to file their financial reports using &F*. !ithout reconciliation$ not allo!ing 4. companies to report under &F*. could result in 4. companies bearing costs not incurred by foreign pri ate issuers. Enhance comparability across companies for users. .EC chairman Cox noted that t!o-thirds of 4. in estors o!n securities of foreign companies$ a "3 percent increase in the last fi e years. Q12-7 a. 1ocal currency unit. ,he local currency unit 81C49 is the currency used locally: that is$ the currency used in the country in !hich the company is located. b. *ecording currency. ,he recording currency is the currency used to record the economic acti ities in the 0ournals and ledger of the business entity. ,he recording currency is typically the local currency$ but may be some other currency. c. *eporting currency. ,he reporting currency is the currency used on the financial statements of the business entity. ,ypically$ the reporting currency is the same as the recording currency. Q12-8 ,he functional currency is normally the currency in !hich the foreign entity performs most of its cash functions. ;o!e er$ for entities operating in highly inflationary economies$ the functional currency is designated as the 4... dollar regardless of the actual currency used for cash functions. ,he definition of a highly inflationary economy is one that has a cumulati e inflation of approximately 133 percent or more o er a "-year period. FAS 52 pro ides six indicators to be used to determine a foreign entity<s functional currency: 819 cash flo!s$ 829 sales prices$ 8"9 sales markets$ 8%9 expenses$ 8'9 financing$ and 8(9 intercompany transactions and arrangements. &f most of these indicators take place in the foreign currency unit$ then the FC4 is the functional currency. &f most take place in the 4... dollar$ then the dollar is the functional currency. Q12-! ;armoni=ation means to standardi=e the accounting principles used around the !orld. For example$ the 4... does not allo! a company to re alue its o!n assets for the effects of inflation. .e eral countries do$ ho!e er$ allo! for this re aluation and subsequent depreciation on the re aluation. 7ifferences in accounting principles from country to country make it difficult to compare business entities doing business in different countries. ,he harmoni=ation of accounting principles around the !orld !ould eliminate many of the problems of combining and consolidating multinational entities. - 4... company !ith international in estments could then be assured of essentially the same accounting principles being applied: therefore$ re enues$ profits$ and in estments in these foreign in estments could effecti ely be compared and contrasted.

Q12-1" >hen the local currency is the foreign entity<s functional currency$ the translation method is used to con ert the foreign entity<s financial statements into 4... dollars$ the parent company<s reporting currency. ,he translation method uses the current exchange rate for con erting all assets and liabilities. ,he appropriate historical exchange rate is used to con ert the Canadian entity<s stockholders< equity accounts. ,he !eighted a erage exchange rate is used to con ert the Canadian entity<s income statement accounts. ,he change in the translation ad0ustment during the period is reported as an element of other comprehensi e income on the .tatement of Comprehensi e &ncome$ and is then accumulated !ith the other elements of comprehensi e income and reported !ithin the stockholders? equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. ,he translation ad0ustment may ha e a debit or credit balance$ depending on the relati e change in the exchange rate since the parent acquired the subsidiary. Q12-11 *emeasurement is used !hen the 4... dollar is the functional currency of the foreign entity. Furthermore$ FAS 52 requires that the financial statements of foreign entities operating in highly inflationary economies be remeasured as if the functional currency !ere the reporting currency. *emeasurement requires the use of the current exchange rate to con ert all monetary assets and liabilities. ,he historical exchange rate is used to con ert nonmonetary assets and the stockholders< equity accounts. ,he appropriate historical rate is the rate on the later of the t!o follo!ing dates: 819 the day the foreign entity obtained the asset or the day the foreign entity made a transaction affecting the stockholders< equity section such as selling additional stock or declaring di idends$ or 829 the day the 4... parent company purchased the foreign affiliate. &n the case of a pooling of interests$ the appropriate historical rate is the rate for the day the foreign affiliate transacted to obtain the asset or transacted in a stockholders< equity item. ,he !eighted a erage exchange rate for the period co ered by the income statement is used for re enues or expenses incurred e enly o er the period except for those expenses that are allocations of balance sheet items$ such as depreciation$ cost of goods sold 8in entories9$ or !rite-offs of good!ill. For cost allocations$ the same rate used on the balance sheet to con ert the items to 4... dollars is used on the income statement. Q12-12 ,ranslation ad0ustments are the balancing items to make the debit and credit items equal in the translated trial balance measured in 4... dollars. ,he parent company records its share of the translation ad0ustment in its books through an ad0usting entry. ,he change during the period in the translation ad0ustment is reported as a component of other comprehensi e income in the .tatement of Comprehensi e &ncome. ,he accumulated other comprehensi e income is reported as a separate item of stockholders? equity in the balance sheet. ,he cumulati e translation ad0ustment may ha e a debit balance or credit balance. - debit balance usually means that the current exchange rate is less than the historical rate used to translate the stockholders? equity accounts. ,his means the dollar is strengthening relati e to the foreign currency. - credit balance usually results !hen the dollar is !eakening relati e to the foreign currency$ and the current exchange rate is higher than the historical exchange rate. Q12-13 ,he remeasurement gain or loss first appears as the trial balance balancing item in the income statement section of the foreign affiliate<s trial balance. ,he parent company recogni=es its share of the remeasurement gain through an ad0usting entry. ,ypically$ the remeasurement gain is sho!n in the @Ather &ncome@ section of the consolidated income statement.

Q12-14 ,he stockholders< equity accounts are translated at the historical rate in effect the date the parent company acquired the foreign affiliate because this aids in the elimination entry process used to prepare the consolidated statements. ,he in estment account on the parent company<s books includes the initial in estment measured in terms of the exchange rate on the date the parent purchased the foreign affiliate. ,hus$ the basic eliminating entry to eliminate the in estment account against the capital stock and additional paid-in capital includes accounts !ith the same currency measurement rate. ,he retained earnings include the effects of re enue and expense transactions$ all measured at different rates o er time. ,he beginning translated retained earnings$ as measured in 4... dollars$ is taken from last year<s ending retained earnings. Bet income is obtained from the income statement and di idends are translated using the exchange rate in effect the date the di idends are declared. Q12-15 ,he current rate method uses the current exchange rate to translate the foreign affiliate<s assets and liabilities. ,he !eighted-a erage exchange rate is used to translate the foreign affiliate<s re enues and expenses. ,his means that the relationships !ithin the assets and liabilities of the foreign affiliate<s balance sheet are not changed in the translation process. For example$ the current ratio in 4... dollar statements !ill be the same as in the foreign currency statements. ,his results from the use of a constant translation multiplier !ithin the financial statements. ;o!e er$ this relationship does not hold !hen computing ratios using a balance sheet account and an income statement account: for example$ return on equity. ,hese ratios include accounts !ith different translation exchange rates. Q12-16 ,he excess of cost o er book alue has t!o effects: 819 the portion amorti=ed for the period is reported in the income statement$ and 829 the unamorti=ed balance is reported in the balance sheet. >hen the local currency unit is the functional currency$ the translation method is used to con ert the foreign entity<s financial statements into 4... dollars. FAS 52 requires that the differential be e aluated in terms of the foreign currency unit. ,herefore$ the period<s amorti=ation$ measured in the foreign currency$ is translated at the !eighted a erage exchange rate. ,he remaining unamorti=ed differential is translated at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. ,he different exchange rates used typically result in a difference !hen measured in 4... dollars. ,his difference becomes part of the translation ad0ustment. Q12-17 ,he change during the period in the translation ad0ustment is reported as a component of other comprehensi e income. ,he translation ad0ustment is part of the accumulated other comprehensi e income that is reported in the stockholders? equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Q12-18 Bot all foreign subsidiaries are consolidated. ,he parent must be able to exercise control o er the foreign subsidiary<s operating and financial policies before consolidation is proper. ,his may not be the case if the foreign subsidiary is located in a country in !hich the go ernment places significant restrictions on di idend declarations$ input from non-local management$ or other operating or financing aspects of the business. Q12-1! - recent -ccounting ,rends and ,echniques indicated that approximately one-quarter of the foreign subsidiaries of 4... companies are not consolidated: instead$ they are reported as a long-term in estment on the 4... company<s financial

statements$ usually under the equity method. ,he cost method is used to account for the foreign in estment$ ho!e er$ if the 4... in estor is not able to exercise significant influence o er the foreign in estee<s operating and financial policies. Q12-2"# ,he issue !ith intercompany transactions is !ith regard to the amount of unreali=ed profit. ,he unreali=ed profit determined at the time of the initial intercompany transaction is a function of the currency exchange rate at that time. -s the rate changes$ the underlying accounts may be translated at different exchange rates$ thus affecting the computation of unreali=ed intercompany profit. FAS 52 states that the intercompany profit should be eliminated based on the exchange rate at the date the intercompany transaction occurred. ,his eliminates any potential problems from subsequent changes in exchange rates.
