on 1st june 2002 saint (parent) lent Albans (Subsidiary) $1400.The liability is recorded at historic rate within the non current liabilities of albans
its also from test your understanding 2 of chapter 18 of kaplan book and i cannt know and understand how to adjust it sir please help me sirAugust 23, 2015 at 4:35 pm #268245Translate at closing rate and then compare the translated figure with the parent’s own figure for the loan
The difference is an exchange difference
August 23, 2015 at 4:50 pm #268249is it be treated as the translated reserve in SOFP and other comprehensive income in COnsolidated Statement of P/L
August 23, 2015 at 4:52 pm #268250and sir they included this difference in administrative expense but i think its intra group so it is not be included as we eliminate urp and intra group revenue is i am correct sir
August 23, 2015 at 4:58 pm #268252In the subsidiary’s own records, the exchange difference will be included somewhere within the statement of profit or loss (guidance is not given in IAS)
Following that translation and adjustment, the loan receivable and payable will now be the same amount, so these cancel
But the adjustment doesn’t cancel – that is correctly included as an expense
Think about the double entry
Dr Administrative expenses
Cr Loan payableNow cancel Loan payable against Loan receivable
Ok?
August 23, 2015 at 5:10 pm #268254sir i had question in mind that if this difference is expence to subsidiary then this is gain to the parent then why we should not cancel loss and gain with each other in consolidated statement of P/L
August 23, 2015 at 6:39 pm #268260Only the subsidiary will record the exchange difference. Why is is a gain for the parent? The parent will still receive the amount loaned – but it will cost the subsidiary more in its local currency to settle that debt. That’s all. No affect on the parent
