Problem I
1. Indirect Exchange Rates
Philippine Viewpoint:
1 $ = P40; 1 Peso = $0.025 ($1/P40)
1 Singapore dollar = P32.00; 1 Peso = 0.03125 Singapore (1 Singapore Dollar/P32)
Peso P8,000
2. FCU = = = $200; or
Direct Exchange Rate P40.00
Problem II
a. Exchange rates:
Arrival Date Departure Date
2. The direct exchange rate has decreased. This means that the peso has strengthened during Mr. Alt's
visit. For example, upon arrival, Mr. Alt had to pay P33 per each dollar. Upon departure, however,
each dollar is worth just P32.50. This means that the relative value of the peso has increased or,
alternatively, the value of the dollar has decreased.
3. The Philippine peso equivalent values for the 100 Singapore dollars are:
Arrival date
100 dollars x P33.00 = P3,300
Departure date
100 dollars x P32.50 = 3,250
Foreign Currency Transaction Loss P 50
Mr. Alt held dollars for a time in which the dollars was weakening against the peso. Thus, Mr. Alt
experienced a loss by holding the weaker currency.
Problem III
1. If the direct exchange rate increases, the peso weakens relative to the foreign currency unit. If the
indirect exchange rate increases, the peso strengthens relative to the foreign currency unit.

Problem VI
The entries to record these transactions and the effects of changes in exchange rates are as follows:
Problem VII
1. May 1 Inventory (or Purchases) 8,400
Accounts Payable 8,400
Foreign purchase denominated in pesos
Problem VIII
1. Denominated in FC
RR Imports reports in Philippine pesos:
2. December 1, 20x4
Inventory (or Purchases) 10,500
Accounts Payable (FC) 10,500
P10,500 = FC 15,000 x P.70
Problem IX
1. December 31, 20x6
Accounts Receivable (FC1) 10,000
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain 10,000
Adjust receivable denominated in FC1
to current peso equivalent
and recognize exchange gain:
P83,600 = FC475,000 x P.176 Dec. 31 spot rate
- 73,600 = Preadjusted Dec. 31, 20x6, value
P10,000
Cash 164,000
Foreign Currency Units (FC1) 85,500
Accounts Receivable (FC1) 85,500
Accounts Receivable (P) 164,000
Collect all accounts receivable.
CDL could have hedged its exposed position. The exposed positions are only those denominated in
foreign currency units. The accounts receivable denominated in FC1 could be hedged by selling FC1
in the forward market, thereby locking in the value of the FC1. The accounts payable denominated in
FC2 could be hedged by buying FC2 in the forward market, thereby locking in the value of the FC2.

12. b P9,000 = 300,000 FCUs x (P1.65 - P1.62). The foreign currency transaction gain is computed
using spot rates on the transaction date (November 30, 20x4) and the balance sheet date
(December 31, 20x4). The forward exchange rates are not used because the transaction was not
hedged.

31. a – since accounts payable is an exposed account meaning their value will fluctuate based on the spot exchange
rates, the value of the accounts payable should be the value on May 8, i.e., the spot rate of P1.25 (P.15 x
2,000,000 FCs = P2,500,000).

33. e – in a two-transaction approach, the recognition of foreign exchange gain or loss is separate from the
settlement, therefore, the amount of accounts payable to be settled should be the spot rate on the settlement date,
i.e., P1.20 (P1.20 x 2,000,000 FCs = P2,400,000)
