Question

On January 1, 20X1, Par Company purchased all the outstanding stock of South Bay Company, located in Canada, for $105,300. On January 1, 20X1, the direct exchange rate for the Canadian dollar (C$) was C$1 = $0.81. South Bay’s book value on January 1, 20X1, was C$87,000. The fair value of South Bay’s plant and equipment was C$11,000 more than book value, and the plant and equipment are being depreciated over 10 years with no salvage value. The remainder of the differential is attributable to a trademark, which will be amortized over 10 years.

During 20X1, South Bay earned C$22,000 in income and declared and paid C$8,200 in dividends. The dividends were declared and paid in Canadian dollars when the exchange rate was C$1 = $0.75. On December 31, 20X1, Par continues to hold the Canadian currency received from the dividend. On December 31, 20X1, the direct exchange rate is C$1 = $0.64. The average exchange rate during 20X1 was C$1 = $0.76. Management has determined that the Canadian dollar is South Bay’s appropriate functional currency.
