Short Answer
1. Under the current rate method, all assets and liabilities are translated using the current exchange rate
on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the exchange rate
existing on the date each underlying transaction occurred.
Under the temporal method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate.
Assets and liabilities carried at historical cost are translated at historical exchange rates while those
carried at current values are translated at the current exchange rate. Revenues and expenses except
those related to assets and liabilities translated at historical rates, are translated at exchange rates in
effect on the dates the underlying transaction occurred.

2. The current rate method is appropriate when the functional currency is the local currency. The
temporal method is appropriate when the functional currency is the U.S. dollar or when the foreign
environment is highly inflationary. If the functional currency is the currency of a third country, the
accounts are first remeasured into the functional currency using the temporal method and then
translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method.
Short Answer Questions in Textbook Solutions
1. (1) The parent company must control more than 50 percent of the voting stock of the subsidiary.
(2) The intent of control should be permanent.
(3) The control should rest with the majority owners.
2. The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
entity operates. The FASB provided the following six economic indicators:
a. The impact on the parent’s cash flow;
b. The short-term responsiveness of the sales price to changes in the exchange rate;
c. The sales market for the firm’s products;
d. The currency in which labor, materials, and other factor inputs are primarily obtained;
e. The currency in which debt is denominated and the ability of the foreign entity’s operations to
generate amounts of that currency sufficient to service the debt;
f. The volume of transactions between the foreign entity and its parent.
3. Local currency, current rate
4. U.S. dollar, temporal
5. The temporal method is used when a foreign subsidiary operates in a highly inflationary economy.
6. Remeasurement is the process of translating the accounts of a foreign entity into its functional currency
when they are stated in another currency.
7. All assets and liabilities are translated using the current rate at the balance sheet date when the current
rate method of translation is used.
8. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Common stock is
translated at the historical rate when the stock was issued. Retained earnings consists of various period’s
net income (translated at the yearly average rates) less dividends converted at the historical rates on the
declaration dates. The cumulative translation adjustment is a balancing amount in equity, which results
in total equity (including the cumulative adjustment) being driven back to the rate in effect at the
balance sheet date. Thus, the ratios will not change from their calculations using the local currency.
9. Application of the temporal method produces translated amounts that reflect transactions as if they had
been measured in dollars originally rather than in the local currency.
10. Revenues and expenses are translated using the exchange rate in effect when they were recognized
during the period except for expenses associated with nonmonetary items which are translated using
historical rates. Because it is impractical to translate numerous transactions, the use of an appropriate
average is permitted.

11. The translation adjustment is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity when the current
rate method is used to translate the accounts.
Business Ethics Solutions

Business ethics solutions are merely suggestions of points to address. The objective is to raise the students'
awareness of the topics, and to invite discussion. In most cases, there is clear room for disagreement or
conflicting viewpoints.
1. Spring-loading is a contentious issue, and the following points are among those that may be
considered in a discussion or debate of whether it should be allowed or not:
Though granting options is intended to motivate and incentivize the employees to generate more
profits, granting an award that is already known (or strongly suspected) before-the-fact to be in the
money very soon seems counter to this intent.
Companies engaged in spring-loading mislead investors by not disclosing that options are awarded
with foreknowledge of the impending good news.
Spring-loading is legal as long as the compensation committee awarding the options knows the same
information as the recipient, and the company informs shareholders that it does not withhold
granting options when undisclosed, positive company information is pending.
Companies suspected of spring-loading cannot be said to have advantage of prior market reactions
that have not actually taken place, and executives can argue, truthfully, that there is no way to know
for certain how the market will react to impending news.
Option manipulation is generally more likely to occur in circumstances in which the company executives
like CEOs have greater influence on the company’s pay-setting and governance processes, which suggests a
lack of board oversight.
2. Spring-loaded grants might violate insider-trading rules, particularly if managers with

knowledge of the information gives options to themselves, or if executives conceal good news
from directors while urging them to grant options.
