  • The building and equipment used in the Mexican operation were acquired in 2007 when the currency exchange rate was C$0.20 = Ps 1.

  • Purchases of inventory were made evenly throughout the fiscal year.

  • Beginning inventory was acquired evenly throughout 2016; ending inventory was acquired evenly throughout 2017.

  • The Main Office account on the Mexican records should be considered an equity account. This balance was remeasured into C$7,680 on December 31, 2017.

  • Currency exchange rates for 1 Ps applicable to the Mexican operation follow:

Weighted average, 2016 C$ 0.25

  • The subsidiary’s common stock was issued in 2004 when the exchange rate was $0.45 = C$1.

  • The subsidiary’s December 31, 2016, retained earnings balance was C$151,590, an amount that has been translated into U.S.$69,663.

  • The applicable currency exchange rates for 1 C$ for translation purposes are as follows:

January 1, 2017 US$ 0.70
April 1, 2017 0.69
June 1, 2017 0.68

  2. Prepare financial statements (income statement, statement of retained earnings, and balance sheet) for the Canadian subsidiary in its functional currency, Canadian dollars.

  3. Translate the Canadian dollar functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars so that Sendelbach can prepare consolidated financial statements.
