Answer:

C. $200 net loss

Explanation:

The net loss or gain is calculated on hedging to determine whether the hedge has been beneficial for the company or not. Hedging is a process to transfer exchange rate movement risk. This is usually suitable for the companies who have receipts or payments in foreign currencies.

The hedging gain loss can be calculated as:

Forward rate at the time of contract - spot rate today

$1.21 - 1.232 = 0.0232

Answer:

Salaries and wages payable...................Dr                    $20,000

                                      Salaries and wages expense                  $20,000

Explanation:

As per accrual system, an expense is incurred when it is accrued irrespective of when it is paid. So, $20,000 was accrued in December 31, salary and wages expenses would have been debited then amounting to $20,000.

In order to rectify the mistake of double counting, the entry passed by the accountant would be reversed to nullify the effect.

Adjusting Journal entry:

Particulars                                            Debit              Credit

Salaries and wages payable               $20,000

                 Salaries and wages expense                    $20,000

(Being double counting of salaries and

wages expense rectified)
