    Hi, please help me understand entries for this task:

    An entity, Waiter, has a reporting date of 31 December and the dollar ($) as its functional currency. Waiter borrows in the foreign currency of the Kram (K). The loan of K120,000 was taken out on 1 January 20X7. A repayment of K40,000 was made on 1 March 20X7.
    Exchange rates were as follows:
    1 January 20X7 – K1: $2
    1 March 20X7 – K1: $3
    31 December 20X7 – K1: $3.5
    Required:
    Describe how the above should be accounted for in the financial statements of Waiter for the year ended 31 December 20X7.

    Solution:
    On 1 January 20X7:
    The transaction is recorded at $240,000 (K120,000 × 2).
    Dr Cash $240,000
    Cr Loans $240,000

    On 1 March 20X7:
    The cash settlement is recorded at $120,000 (K40,000 × 3).
    Dr Loans $120,000
    Cr Cash $120,000

    Translation at the reporting day:
    Dr Profit or loss $160,000
    Cr Loans $160,000

    I understand why $160,000, but I can’t understand what happens with Cash?
    We increase Liabilities end decrease Retained Earnings by $160,000, so Liabilities + Retained Earnings in total are not changed, right?
    But don’t we also have to retranslate Cash that we received from the loan by $160,000?
    What shall be the entries for K80,000 cash that we still have on balance?
    Thank you for your help.
