    Dear Sir,

    I would like to know.
    Functional currency is USD.
    Transfer USD1,000 from USD bank account to EUR bank account.
    Based on the spot rate,USD 1,000 : EUR 800

    When do the double entries, Dr USD Account USD 1,000.00 Cr EUR Account USD 1,000
    [functional and reporting currency is USD]

    No bank charges.
    Do I revalue the EUR 800 at exchange rate on the transaction date. EUR 800 = USD 910?

    The difference of
    USD 1,000 and USD 910 = USD 90 goes to realised exchange difference.

    Not sure I fully understand your question. I cannot recall an exam question with that wording

    Transactions must be translated at the exchange rate of the date of the transaction

    If a company has a foreign currency balance at the year and this is a monetary asset it must be re-translated at the balance sheet rate

    The exchange difference would go to the profit and loss account
