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)

Counselors of Savannah purchased equipment on January ​1, 2017​, for $43,000.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Book value by December 31,2018=$26,000

gain on the sale by December 31, 2018=$1,200

Explanation:

The expression for the accumulated depreciation is as follows;

depreciable cost=Acquisition cost-residual value

where;

acquisition cost=$43,000

residual value=$500

replacing;

depreciable cost=43,000-500=$42,500

depreciable cost=$42,500

The annual depreciation can be expressed as;

annual depreciation=depreciable cost/estimated life

where;

depreciable cost=$42,500

estimated life=5 years

replacing;

annual depreciation=42,500/5=8,500

annual depreciation=$8,500

Accumulated depreciation after 2 years=annual depreciation×2=(8,500×2)=$17,000

Book value=acquisition cost-accumulated depreciation

where;

acquisition cost=$43,000

accumulated depreciation=$17,000

replacing;

Book value=43,000-17,000=$26,000

net gain/loss=sale-book value

net gain/loss=27,200-26,000

gain on the sale by December 31, 2018=$1,200

(10 marks) 1. Looking at Nigeria as a potential emerging market, mention and explain 4 factors you think are preventing Nigeria
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

1. Political instability

2. High cost of taxation

3. Insecurity

4. Changes in law and policy

Explanation:

1A. Political instability. The uncertainty regarding political decisions is one of the major threat to foreign investment in Nigeria. Where there are daily crises in terms of political events, such will scare away potential investors. Moreover, if government changes regulations guiding businesses or do not enforce such changes, it may cut down the returns that should ordinary be made by the investors hence discourage them from making further investment.

1B. High cost of taxation. Emerging economies such as Nigeria imposes too many taxes on local and foreign investors who have their companies situated there. For instance, the federal government through Federal lnland Revenue services is saddled with the responsibility of collecting various types of taxes such as company income tax, withholding taxes etc. Moreover, state governments also levy taxes on these companies for situating and carrying out business transactions in their state.

1C. Insecurity. The prevalence insecurity in the North East discourages investors from investing in Nigeria. The country has to grapple with the daily threat posed by these terrorist. Again, the activities of these terrorist group including the dreaded bandits and local militants have claimed and destroyed lots of lives and properties over the years. Due to their constant and continuous activities, Nigeria has been included among terrorist nations hence scares investors away from coming to invest in the country because no one would want his or her investments to be destroyed.

1D. Changes in law and policy. Emerging countries such as Nigeria is used to changing laws regulating businesses constantly. Most of these changes come through variation of existing contracts such as using executive powers(circulars, administrative orders,directives etc). The continuous changes in law and policy is capable of discouraging investors from investing in the country.

2. If I have the resources to change any of the above, I would change political instability. The reason is that a country that is not stable politically cannot attract foreign investment. I would try as much possible to bring together all the political players in the country by asking them to ignore their political differences hence work towards common good of the country.
