Charleston Corporation operates a branch operation in a foreign country. Although this branch operates in euros, the U.S. dollar

is its functional currency. Thus, a remeasurement is necessary to produce financial information for external reporting purposes. The branch began the year with 528,000 euros in cash and no other assets or liabilities. However, the branch immediately used 300,000 euros to acquire a warehouse. On May 1, it purchased inventory costing 100,000 euros for cash that it sold on July 1 for 160,000 euros cash. The branch transferred 10,000 euros to the parent on October 1 and recorded depreciation on the warehouse of 10,000 euros for the year. Currency exchange rates for 1 euro follow:
January 1 . . . . . . . . . . $1.14 = 1 euro
May 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.18 = 1
July 1 . . . . . . . . . . .. . . 1.20 = 1
October 1 . . . . . . . . . . 1.18 = 1
December 31 . . . . . . . 1.08 = 1
Average for the year. . 1.16 = 1

What is the remeasurement gain or loss to be recognized in the consolidated income statement? Choose the correct.
a. $100 gain.
b. $200 gain.
c. $100 loss.
d. $200 loss.

Answer: Remeasurement loss of $‭21,970

Explanation:

The figures will have to be converted from Euros to US$ for the calculation.

The relevant exchange rate will be the rate on the date of the transaction.

                                                              Amount      Exchange rate    $Amount

Opening cash                                     528,000           1.14                   ‭601,920‬

Increase in Cash assets:

Sale of inventory                                 160,000             1.20                192,000

                                                            688,000                                   793,920‬

Decrease in cash assets:

Acquisition of warehouse                 300,000             1.14                (342,000)

Purchase of inventory                       100,000              1.18                (118,000)

Transfer to parent                              10,000                1.18                 (11,800)

Ending net cash assets                     278,000 ‭                                  322,120‬

Remeasurement gain(loss) at 31 December = Ending net cash assets at current rate - Ending net cash assets

= (278,000 * 1.08) - 322,120

= ‭300,240‬ - 322,120

= ($21,970)

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Caro
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.

Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.

With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.
