IAS21-query

Aalwaystensed14y ago
Hello, this is my 1st post here..regarding IAS 21,i hav a query. How do u know which exchange rates to be used when u are translating different items of a foreign subsidiary? i mean the opening,closing or average? im really very confused,as i have seen questions in the kaplan kit that translate post acq profit & share capital at the opening rate while other questions they have used the closing exchange rate....
help will be very much appreciated..
thanks.

Both methods are acceptable. I ALWAYS use the closing rate method - it's so much easier!
