Keep in mind before jump to the answer:

1. As the the term of contract is FOB (Free on board) shipping, the Forex risk is shifted to buyer (Vicpark Ltd.) from seller (Hundar Ltd.).

2. Journal entries are required only for transaction in monetary terms. Total two journal is required for this case. First one for the purchase and the second one for settlement of payment. Completion of order, shipped from Nagoya Port and received by Vicpark Ltd on 25 June 2020, these all are non monetary events, hence there is no scope in accounting to journalize these.
