At what amount should inventory be reported?

ANSWER: 1,680,000

What amount of realized gain or loss will be transferred to income statement?

ANSWER: 65,000 realized loss

Solution:

1. Inventory (48* 100,000)                              4,800,000

less: inventory sold (65/100) * 4,800,000      3, 120,000

                                                                         1,680,000

2. unrealized forex gain (25-47) *100,000        2,200,000         

less: unrealized forex loss (25- 48) *100,000 (2,300,000)

                                      100,000 loss

(65/100) x 100,000 = 65,000 realized loss  or 

(3,120/4,800) * 100.000 = 65,000 realized loss

Option Fair value             10,000 1                               8,000                          24,000
Spot Rate                              15                                       14                                 18
Strike Price                           15                                       15                                 15
Required: Compute the  gains or losses if non-split accounting is used. (Categorize the
two values)
CHANGE fair value of the contract from transaction date to Balance sheet date (10,000- 8,000)
= 2,000 loss
