Answer:
A negative translation adjustment must be reported.
Explanation:
Under the current rate method, the company must report a negative translation adjustment on a reserve account in the consolidated balance. This reserve account is included in the consolidated balance sheet as unrealized gains/losses.
The marketable securities were purchased at 1,000,000 / 20 = $50,000 (US dollars). But now they are worth only 1,000,000 / 25 = $40,000 (US dollars).
The reserve account of the consolidated financial statements should show a negative foreign currency translation adjustment equal to $10,000 (US dollars).
Answer:
$78,000
Explanation:
The computation of interest at year end is shown below:-
Interest at year end = Cash contribution + Income of partnership + Share of partnership liabilities - Cash from the partnership
= $50,000 + $20,000 × 50% + $60,000 × 50% - $12,000
= $90,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 - $12,000
= $78,000
Therefore for computing the partnership interest at year end we simply applied the above formula by considering all the items given in the question
Answer: =MONTH(F5)
Explanation:
The MONTH function in Excel returns the month, a number from 1 (January) to 12 (December).
It’s syntax is;
“=MONTH(serial_number)”
Where serial number refers to the date in question, which could either be a date itself or a cell reference.
The MONTH function is used to extract the month number from a date.
If cell F5 contains “July 8, 2016”, the formula “=MONTH(F5)” inputed in another cell will give the value “7”.
This is because the month July is the 7th month of the year.
