Q8. (MTP - Oct 19 – 6 Marks)
A Ltd., whose functional currency is Indian Rupee, had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 2,00,000,

but there are no trade receivables or trade payables balances as on 1st April, 20X1. During the year 20X1-
20X2, the entity entered into the following foreign currency transactions:
❖ A Ltd. purchased goods for resale from Europe for €1,00,000 when the exchange rate was €1 = Rs. 50. This
balance is still unpaid at 31st March, 20X2 when the exchange rate is €1 = Rs. 45. An exchange gain on
retranslation of the trade payable of Rs. 5,00,000 is recorded in profit or loss.

❖ A Ltd. sold the goods to an American client for $ 1,50,000 when the exchange rate was $1 = Rs. 40. This
amount was settled when the exchange rate was $1 = Rs. 42. A further exchange gain regarding the trade
receivable is recorded in the statement of profit or loss.
❖ A Ltd. also borrowed €1,00,000 under a long-term loan agreement when the exchange rate was €1 = Rs. 50
and immediately converted it to Rs. 50,00,000. The loan was retranslated at 31st March, 20X2 @ Rs. 45, with

a further exchange gain recorded in the statement of profit or loss.
❖ A Ltd. therefore records a cumulative exchange gain of Rs. 13,00,000 (5,00,000 + 3,00,000 + 5,00,000) in
arriving at its profit for the year.
❖ In addition, A Ltd. records a gross profit of Rs. 10,00,000 (Rs. 60,00,000 – Rs. 50,00,000) on the sale of
the goods.

❖Ignore taxation.
