Answer #1

The profit that UK subsidiary contributes during 2016-17 is GBP 1,500,000. Here, exchange rate during 2016-17 for UK was, 1GBP = 1.3 USD.

Please note, the exchange rates are given with reference to USD currency. In order to compare the values or do any calculations, we need to convert the local currency values to USD currency values.

So, the profit for UK for year 2016-17 in terms of USD is: 1,950,000 USD ------------------------------------------ (1)

Now, in order to calculate the profit for UK subsidiary in terms of total profit across subsidiaries, we need to find out the respective profit values in terms of USD for the year 2016-17.

For Mexico, it is 29,000,000 MXN

Here, exchange rate given is 1USD= 17 MXN

Therefore, the profit in terms of USD is: 1705882.3529 USD.

For Germany, it is 1,000,000 EUR

The exchange rate is: 1 EUR = 1.12 USD

Therefore, the profit in terms of USD is: 1,120,000 USD.

For Chile, it is 200,000,000 CLP

The exchange rate is: 1USD = 657 CLP

Therefore, the profit in terms of USD is: 304414.0030 USD

For USA, it is 1,200,000 USD. We don't need to convert this currency as it is already in terms of USD.

So, total profit for year 2016-17 is: 1,950,000 +1,705,882.3529 + 1,120,000 + 3,04,414.0030 + 1,200,000 USD

= 6,280,296.3559 USD ------------------------------------ (2)

So, the profit the UK subsidiary contributes in terms of percentage of total profit in year 2016-17 is:  

1950000/6280296.3559

= 31.0495%
