Answer 1

Assuming US dollar is the functional cuurency of operation:

Remeasurement gain or loss for 2017 would be the amount of remeasurement loss for 2016 subject to adjustment for income statement line items reported in the trial balance after the application of conversion factor.

The income statement line items would be converted at the average exchange rate for the current year i.e. 3.05.

Remeasuremnet gain for 2017= Remesurement loss for 2016+ Depreciation expense for building and equipment-gain on sale of building + rent expense+salary expense+utility expense-sales revenue

=$28300+$21960+$128100+$63135+$128100+$16775-$25830-$460550

=$-100,010

Therefore, the remeasurement gain for 2017 would amount to $-100,010.

Now if we assume Kroner (kr) to be the functional currency

Remeasuremnet gain for 2017= Remeasurement gain for 2016- Depreciation expense for building and equipment+gain on sale of building - rent expense-salary expense-utility expense+sales revenue.

=3163.93-7200-42000+8200-20700-42000-5500+151000

=Kr44,963.93

Therefore, the remeasurement gain for 2017 would amount to Kr44,963.93.
