As the controller forPalmerstown Company, you have evaluated the characteristics of the foreign subsidiary to determine that the pound is the subsidiary’s functional currency.
Required:
Use an electronic spreadsheet to translate the foreign subsidiary’s financial statements into U.S. dollars at December 31, Year 1, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Insert a row in the spreadsheet after obtained earnings and before total liabilities and stockholders’ equity for the cumulative translation adjustment. Calculate the translation adjustment separately to verify the amount obtained as a balancing figure in the translation worksheet.
Use an electronic spreadsheet to remeasure the foreign subsidiary’s financial statements into U. S. dollars at December 31, Year1, assuming that the U. S. dollar is the subsidiary’s functional currency. Insert a row in the spreadsheet after depreciation expense and before income before taxes for the remeasurement gain (loss).
Prepare a report for CEO of Palmerstown Company summarizing the differences that will be reported in the Year 1 consolidated financial statement because the pound, rather than the U. S. dollar, is the foreign subsidiary’s functional currency. In your report, discuss the relationship between the current ratio, the debt to equity ratio, and profit margin calculated from the foreign currency financial statements and from the translated U. S. dollar financial statements. Also, include a discussion of the meaning of the translated U. S. dollar for inventory and fixed assets.
