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)

Today's consumers do not need to rely on marketer-supplied information about products and services because they can use ________
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The answer to the question would be C

Explanation:

Without a doubt, the economic crisis has changed the way consumers approach the market for goods and services. In this new era, austerity, discounts and the search in different channels of the best price / benefit ratio dominate.

Of course, technology and the Internet are the best allies of the consumer who wants to be informed: thanks to smartphones, bar scanners, social networks or websites that compare prices or offer discounts, we are the buyers with more prior information on what we want or need to acquire.

Today, you borrowed $3,200 on a credit card that charges an interest rate of 12.9 percent, compounded monthly. How long will it
miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>It will take me </em>= <em>30.99 years</em> to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month

Explanation:

SOLUTION:

Using the Formula: A = P(1+r/n){nt}

Where:

A= $60.00;

P = $3,200.00;

r = 12.9%;

n = 12

t =?

Substituting the values into the Formula =

$60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12){12t}

= $60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.129/12){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.01075 ){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ){12t}

= $60.00/$3,200.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ){12t}/$3200.00

= 0.01875 = (1.01075)12t

= Using the law of logarithm

= logA^{N} = Nlog A

=12tlog(1.01075) = log0.01875

= 12log(1.01075)/(1.01075) = log0.01875/log(1.01075)

=  12t = log(0.01875)/log1.01075

= 12t = 1.7270/0.04644

Divide 12 by both sides

=12t/12 = 371.88774/12

t= 30.9898

<em>∴ 30.99 years</em>

<em>It will take me </em>= 30.99 years to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month
