Problem 11-1
(a) The inventory must be reported at the lower of cost and net realizable value (LC&NRV) for
all situations. The inventory would be reported at €21,000 on Patras’s balance sheet before
translation
(b) After translation, the inventory would be reported on Patra’s balance sheet at
i. Functional currency is the Euro. Implies PCT method:
NRV x closing rate: €21,000 x 1.31 = $27,510;
ii. Functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Implies FCT method:
cost in $ = €22,000 x 1.23 = $27,060; NRV in $ = €21,000 x 1.31 = $27,510;
Since cost is lower than NRV, the writedown in € is reversed and inventory is stated at
cost = $27,060
(c) The parent’s own inventory would have to be carried at LC & NRV = $44,000
i. $44,000 + $27,510 = $71,510
ii. $44,000 + $27,060 = $71,060
Problem 11-2
(a)
Since the Canadian dollar is the functional currency, use the FCT method.

Problem 11-4
a)
The following factors indicate that the Canadian dollar is the functional currency: EVA sells and
distributes equipment manufactured by the parent company, PAL. PAL finances EVA’s
purchases of PAL’s equipment because PAL allows 90 days for EVA to pay and EVA will have
sold the equipment and received the money from their customers by then. The following factors
indicate that the Euro is the functional currency:
EVA continues to sell its equipment in Europe
EVA will construct a new distribution centre and finance it with EVA’s own retained earnings

The answer to both questions depends on whether other comprehensive income (OCI) and
accumulated foreign exchange adjustments (AFEA) are included (B1 below) or excluded (B2
below) from the calculations as indicated by the following:
A B1 B2
Total debt 7,434 7,434 7,434
Total equity including AFEA 13,901 13,503
Total equity excluding AFEA 14,164

(i) The strongest solvency position is shown under B2 where the functional currency is the US
dollar and shareholders’ equity excludes the accumulated foreign exchange losses.
(ii) The best return on shareholders’ equity is shown under B2 where the functional currency is
the US dollar but the profit rather than comprehensive income is used as the numerator.

PART C
PART C
The PCT method does not produce a translated amount consistent with the way we normally
measure assets and liabilities. When the closing rate is applied to the historical cost in foreign
currency, the translated amount is not historical cost or current value in Canadian dollars. This
is a problem for inventory and property, plant and equipment, which are supposed to be
measured at historical cost.
