Chapter Outline Translation Methods FASB Statement 8 FASB Statement 52 International Accounting Standards Management of Translation Exposure Empirical Analysis of the Change from FASB 8 to FASB

Translation Methods Current/Noncurrent Method Monetary/Nonmonetary Method Temporal Method Current Rate Method 10-2

Current/Noncurrent Method The underlying principal is that assets and liabilities should be translated based on their maturity. Current assets translated at the spot rate. Noncurrent assets translated at the historical rate in effect when the item was first recorded on the books. This method of foreign currency translation was generally accepted in the United States from the 1930s until 1975, at which time FASB 8 became effective. 10-3

Current/Noncurrent Method Current assets translated at the spot rate. e.g. €2 = $1 Noncurrent assets translated at the historical rate in effect when the item was first recorded on the books. e.g. €3 = $1 10-4

Monetary/Nonmonetary Method The underlying principle is that monetary accounts have a similarity because their value represents a sum of money whose value changes as the exchange rate changes. All monetary balance sheet accounts (cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, etc.) of a foreign subsidiary are translated at the current exchange rate. All other (nonmonetary) balance sheet accounts (owners’ equity, land) are translated at the historical exchange rate in effect when the account was first recorded. 10-5

Monetary/Nonmonetary Method All monetary balance sheet accounts are translated at the current exchange rate. e.g. €2 = $1 All other balance sheet accounts are translated at the historical exchange rate in effect when the account was first recorded. e.g.€3 = $1 10-6

Temporal Method The underlying principal is that assets and liabilities should be translated based on how they are carried on the firm’s books. Balance sheet account are translated at the current spot exchange rate if they are carried on the books at their current value. Items that are carried on the books at historical costs are translated at the historical exchange rates in effect at the time the firm placed the item on the books. 10-7

Temporal Method Items carried on the books at their current value are translated at the spot exchange rate. e.g. €2 = $1 Items that are carried on the books at historical costs are translated at the historical exchange rates. e.g. €3 = $1 10-8

Current Rate Method All balance sheet items (except for stockholder’s equity) are translated at the current exchange rate. Very simple method in application. A “plug” equity account named cumulative translation adjustment is used to make the balance sheet balance. 10-9

Current Rate Method All balance sheet items (except for stockholder’s equity) are translated at the current exchange rate. A “plug” equity account named cumulative translation adjustment is used to make the balance sheet balance 10-10

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 = $1 to €2 = $1 Spot exchange rate 10-11

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 Book value of inventory at spot exchange rate Book value of inventory historic rate Current value of inventory at spot exchange rate

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 historic ratespot exchange rate 10-13

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 Cash + Inventory + Net Fixed Assets 10-14

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 spot rate 10-15

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 spot rate historical rate 10-16

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 Requires income statement data (see slides 23, 24, 25) 10-17

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 Under the current rate method, a “plug” equity account named cumulative translation adjustment makes the balance sheet balance

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 For notes, see Exhibit 14.1 Sales translate at average exchange rate over the period, €2.50 = $

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 For notes, see Exhibit 14.1 Translate at €2.50 = $1 Translate at old exchange rate, €3.00 = $

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 Translate at €3 = $1 Translate at average exchange rate, €2.5 = $

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 First Solve for retained earnings so as Total Assets = Total Liabilities: Total Assets – current liabilities – long-term debt – common stock $2,800 – $600 –$600 –$900 = $700 = addition to retrained earnings Add back on dividends to get net income. Then solve for forex gain (loss) by differencing profit after tax and net income $700 – $400 = $

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 First Solve for retained earnings so as Total Assets = Total Liabilities: Total Assets – current liabilities – long-term debt – common stock $2,550 – $600 –$900 –$900 = $150 = addition to retrained earnings Add back on dividends to get net income. Then solve for forex gain (loss) by differencing profit after tax and net income $150 – $700 = –$

How Various Translation Methods Deal with a Change from €3 to €2 = $1 First Solve for retained earnings so as Total Assets = Total Liabilities: Total Assets – current liabilities – long-term debt – common stock $2,950 – $600 –$900 –$900 = $550 = addition to retrained earnings Add back on dividends to get net income. Then solve for forex gain (loss) by differencing profit after tax and net income $550 – $400 = $

FASB Statement 8 Essentially the temporal method, with some subtleties. Such as translating inventory at historical rates, which is a hassle. Requires taking foreign exchange gains and losses through the income statement. This leads to variability in reported earnings. Which leads to irritated corporate executives

FASB Statement 52 The Mechanics of the FASB 52 Translation Process Function Currency Reporting Currency Highly Inflationary Economies 10-26

The Mechanics of FASB Statement 52 Function Currency The currency that the business is conducted in. Reporting Currency The currency in which the MNC prepares its consolidated financial statements

The Mechanics of FASB Statement 52 Two-Stage Process First, determine in which currency the foreign entity keeps its books. If the local currency in which the foreign entity keeps its books is not the functional currency, remeasurement into the functional currency is required. Second, when the foreign entity’s functional currency is not the same as the parent’s currency, the foreign entity’s books are translated using the current rate method

Current Rate Translation Parent’s Currency Foreign entity’s books kept in? Parent’s Currency Functional Currency? Local currency Temporal Remeasurement Parent’s currency Nonparent Currency Third currency The Mechanics of FASB Statement

Highly Inflationary Economies Foreign entities are required to remeasure financial statements using the temporal method “as if the functional currency were the reporting currency”

International Accounting Standards Since January 2005, all companies doing business in the European Union have to use the accounting standards promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Similar to the American FASB, the IASB publishes it standards in a series of pronouncements called International Financial Reporting Standards. It also adopted and maintains the pronouncements of the predecessor body, the IASC, called International Accounting Standards (IAS)

International Accounting Standards IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates is the European standard for handling foreign currency translation. IAS 21 most closely resembles the monetary/nonmonetary translation method discussed earlier in the chapter. Thus, in the European Union, a different translation method is used than in the United States

Management of Translation Exposure Translation Exposure vs. Transaction Exposure Hedging Translation Exposure Balance Sheet Hedge Derivatives Hedge Translation Exposure vs. Operating Exposure 10-33

Translation Exposure versus Transaction Exposure Translation Exposure The effect that unanticipated changes in exchange rates has on the firm’s consolidated financial statements. An accounting issue. Transaction Exposure The effect that unanticipated changes in exchange rates has on the firm’s cash flows. A finance issue and the subject of Chapter 8. It is generally not possible to eliminate both translation exposure and transaction exposure

Hedging Translation Exposure If the managers of the firm wish to manage their accounting numbers as well as their business, they have two methods for dealing with translation exposure. Balance Sheet Hedge Derivatives Hedge 10-35

Balance Sheet Hedge Eliminates the mismatch between net assets and net liabilities denominated in the same currency. May create transaction exposure, however

Derivatives Hedge An example would be the use of forward contracts with a maturity of the reporting period to attempt to manage the accounting numbers. Using a derivatives hedge to control translation exposure really involves speculation about foreign exchange rate changes, however

Translation Exposure versus Operating Exposure The effect that unanticipated changes in exchange rates has on the firm’s ongoing operations. Operating exposure is a substantive issue with which the management of the firm should concern itself with

Empirical Analysis of the Change from FASB 8 to FASB 52 There did not appear to be a revaluation of firms’ values following the change. This suggests that market participants do not react to cosmetic earnings changes. Other researchers have found similar results when investigating other accounting changes. This highlights the futility of attempting to manage translation gains and losses
