Answer:
$162,000 and $4,000 loss
Explanation:
The computation of the adjusted basis in the account receivable and the gain or loss is as follows:
As on Nov 1, the foreign currency rate on date of sale is $0.83
The account receivable should be recorded at
= 200,000 × $0.83
= $166,000
Now the foreign currency rate is reduced to $0.81
So the loss is recorded
= ($0.83 - $0.81) × $2,00,000
= $4,000 loss
And, Receivable balance on Dec 31 is
= $166,000 - $4,000
= $162,000
