……. exposure is the potential for an increase or decrease in the parent company's net worth and reported net income caused by a change in exchange rates since the last transaction.

If the same exchange rate were used to remeasure every line on a financial statement, then there would be no imbalances from remeasuring.

Generally speaking, translation methods by country define the translation process as a function of what two factors?

A/an …….subsidiary is one in which the firm operates as an extension of the parent company with cash flows highly interrelated with the parent.

Consider two different foreign subsidiaries of Georgia-Pacific Wood Products Inc. The first subsidiary mills trees in Canada and ships its entire product to the Georgia-Pacific U.S. The second subsidiary is also owned by the parent firm but is located in Japan and retails tropical hardwood furniture that it buys from many different sources. The first subsidiary is likely a/an………foreign entity with most of its cash flows in U.S. dollars, and the second subsidiary is more of a/an ……..foreign entity.

The current rate method is the most prevalent method today for the translation of financial statements.

The basic advantage of the …….. method of foreign currency translation is that foreign nonmonetary assets are carried at their original cost in the parent's consolidated statement while the most important advantage of the ……… method is that the gain or loss from translation does not pass through the income statement.

Under the U.S. method of translation procedures, if the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary of a U.S. company are maintained in the local currency, and the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, then

If a firm's balance sheet has an equal amount of exposed foreign currency assets and liabilities and the firm translates by the temporal method, then

A Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. parent firm is instructed to bill an export to the parent in U.S. dollars. The Canadian subsidiary records the accounts receivable in Canadian dollars and notes a profit on the sale of goods. Later, when the U.S. parent pays the subsidiary the contracted U.S. dollar amount, the Canadian dollar has appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar. In this example, the Canadian subsidiary will record a
