Introduction: Translation adjustment is the method used to convert the local currency into the parents’ functional currency when the local currency is the foreign entity’s functional currency. The current rate is used to translate the financial statements that are the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The average rate is used to translate revenue and expenses as it is assumed that it occurs uniformly over the period. Any gain or loss on account of translation adjustment is recognized in the comprehensive income statement.

Answer to Problem 12.13E
The dollar strengthened both during 20X6 and 20X7
Explanation of Solution
Direct $/R 1 | Indirect R/$1 | |
January 1, 20X6 | $.03333 = R 1 | R 30 = $1 |
December 31, 20X6 | $.02857 = R 1 | R 35 = $1 |
December 31, 20X7 | $.025 = R 1 | R40 = $1 |
The dollar appreciated against rupees during 20X6 because the amount of rupees required to buy one U.S dollar at the end of the year is R35 which is greater than the amount of rupees required to buy one dollar at the beginning of the year that is R 30. The dollar value continued its upward trend during the year 20X7 to R40.
