    Trucking Solutions Ltd (Trucking-Solutions) is a company listed in the Zimbabwe Stock exchange and conducts its business from its head office in Harare.

    The company purchased its inventory from Part-Quip Pty South Africa at a cost of ZAR 2 000 000 on 30 June 2017 when the exchange rate was $1 = ZAR 1. According to the contract, the supplier will be paid on 31 December 2019.

    There was no forward cover taken out for the transaction and Trucking-Solutions Ltd uses the perpetual system to account for all its inventories. The following exchange rates are applicable.

    31 December 2017 ZWL $1 = ZAR 0.8
    31 December 2018 ZWL $1 = ZAR 1
    31 December 2019 ZWL $1 = ZAR 1.25

    75% of inventory was sold in year 2017 while 25% was sold in year 2018. It is the policy of Trucking-Solutions to price all its inventory at cost plus 50% mark-up.

    Hi,

    You’d need to show me the calculations for your gains/losses for the exchange differences and to show how you’ve calculated the sales figures so that I can see if they’re right. Aside from that you seem to have the right principles.

    Thanks
