Question

A sale of goods was denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency. The sale resulted in a receivable that was fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that would be received. The exchange rate between the functional currency and the currency in which the transaction was denominated changed. The effect of the change should be included as a(n) _________.A. Translation loss reported as a component of income from continuing operations.
B. Translation loss reported as a component of comprehensive income.
C. Transaction loss reported as a component of income from continuing operations.
D. Transaction loss reported as a component of comprehensive income.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the effect of the change should be included as a transaction gain reported as a component of income from continuing operations. This is because this event is a foreign currency transaction and would therefore be reported as a component of income from current operations for the current period that the company is in as opposed to an FC tranaction.

**Either A. or C. are wrong as both are the same and one should be a gain option.**
