Sendelbach Corporation is a U.S.-based organization with operations throughout the world. One of its subsidiaries is headquartered in Toronto. Although this wholly owned company operates primarily in Canada, it engages in some transactions through a branch in Mexico. Therefore, the subsidiary maintains a ledger denominated in Mexican pesos (Ps) and a general ledger in Canadian dollars (C$). As of December 31, 2017, the subsidiary is preparing financial statements in anticipation of consolidation with the U.S. parent corporation. Both ledgers for the subsidiary are as follows:

The Canadian subsidiary’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and Sendelbach’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Canadian and Mexican operations are not viewed as separate accounting entities.
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.

Weighted average, 2016 | C$ | 0.25 |
January 1, 2017 | 0.27 | |

The December 31, 2016, consolidated balance sheet reported a cumulative translation adjustment with a $52,950 credit (positive) balance.
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.
