Answer: a. the local electric utility.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a firm that is the only supplier in its market/ industry in an area. Electric utility companies are usually the only ones offering electricity in their areas so this is a monopoly.

One of a few U.S. ... is not a monopoly as there are a few of them. Auto makers do not have a monopoly as there are several of them as well such as Ford and General Motors. The Cell Phone service market has other providers apart from Verizon and Burger King is definitely not a monopoly.

Board Company has a foreign subsidiary that began operations at the start of 2017 with assets of 155,000 kites (the local curren

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a. The Board would report translation adjustment of -$3,138.

b. See the journal entries and explanation below.

c. Net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

Explanation:

a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What translation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of translation adjustment.

The board would report a negative (debit) translation adjustment of $3,138. That is,

Translation adjustment = -$3,138

b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.

Board Company

Journal Entries

Date Account titles and Explanation Debit ($) Credit ($)

01 Oct 17 (No entry)

12 Dec 17 Forward contract 2,000

Translation adjustment (positive) (w.1) 2,000

(To record forward contract change in the value to adjust translation adjustment.)

12 Dec 17 Foreign currency (kites) (w.2) 152,000

Cash 152,000

(To record 200,000 kites purchased at the spot rate of $0.76)

12 Dec 17 Cash 154,000

Foreign Currency (kites) 152,000

Forward contract 2,000

(To record 200,000 kites delivered, $154,000 received, and close the forward contract account.)

Workings:

w.1: Translation adjustment = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * (Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite - Exchange rate on December 1, 2017) = 200,000 * (0.76 - 0.75) = $2,000

w.2: Foreign Currency (kites) = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite = 200,000 * 0.76 = $152,000

c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

This can be calculated as follows:

Net translation adjustment = Negative translation adjustment in part a + Positive translation adjustment in part b (i.e. w.1) = -$3,138 + 2,000 = -$1,138

Therefore, net translation adjustment is -$1,138.
