The Direct Exchange Rate (DER) is the number of local currency units (LCUs) needed to acquire one foreign currency unit (FCU). 11 Changes in Exchange Rates w Weakening of the U.S. dollar—direct exchange rate increases, implies: n Taking more U.S. currency to acquire one foreign currency unit. n One U.S. dollar acquiring fewer foreign currency units. n Example: DER increases from $1.33/€ to $1.45/€. 12 Changes in Exchange Rates w Strengthening of the U.S. dollar—direct exchange rate decreases, implies: n Taking less U.S. currency to acquire one foreign currency unit. n One U.S. dollar acquiring more foreign currency units. n Example: DER decreases from $1.45/€ to $1.26/€. 13 Spot Rates versus Current Rates w The spot rate is the exchange rate for immediate delivery of currencies. w The current rate is defined simply as the spot rate on the entity’s balance sheet date. w The forward rate is defined as the rate at which currencies can be exchanged at some future date. 14 Forward Exchange Rates w The forward rate on a given date is not the same as the spot rate on the same date. w Expectations about the relative value of currencies are built into the forward rate. w The spread: n The difference between the forward rate and the spot rate on a given date. n Gives information about the perceived strengths or weaknesses of currencies. 15 Forward Exchange Rates w Example: n Assume a U.S.-based company purchases inventory for €1,000 on 3/31 and the contract requires payment on 9/30. 180-day Forward rate = $1.40/€ Spread = $0.05/€ Spot rate = $1.35/€ 3/31 9/30 16 Practice Quiz Question #1 Solution Which of the following statements is false? a. Most currency exchange rates are determined by brokers on a daily basis. b. Economic factors rarely affect exchange rates. c. Some countries maintain control over their exchange rates. d. When the U.S. dollar strengthens, it has greater buying power overseas and can buy more units of foreign currencies. e. A spot rate is the exchange rate for immediate delivery of a currency. 17 Foreign Currency Transactions w Foreign currency transactions are economic activities denominated in a currency other than the entity’s recording currency. w These transactions include the following: 1. Purchases or sales of goods or services (imports or exports), the prices of which are stated in a foreign currency. 2. Loans payable or receivable in a foreign currency. 3. Purchase or sale of foreign currency units. 19 Foreign Currency Transactions w For financial statement purposes, transactions denominated in a foreign currency must be translated into the currency the reporting company uses. w At each balance sheet date, account balances denominated in a currency other than the entity’s reporting currency must be adjusted to reflect changes in exchange rates during the period. w The adjustment in equivalent U.S. dollar values is a foreign currency transaction gain or loss for the entity when exchange rates have changed. 20 Foreign Currency Transactions Assume that a U.S. company acquires €5,000 from its bank on January 1, 20X1, for use in future purchases from German companies. The direct exchange rate is $1.20 = €1; thus, the company pays the bank $6,000 for €5,000, as follows: U.S. dollar equivalent value = Foreign currency units x Direct exchange rate $6,000 = €5,000 x $1.20 The following entry records this exchange of currencies: January 1, 20X1 Foreign Currency Units (€ ) 6,000 Cash 6,000 On July 1, 20X1, the exchange rate is $1.10 = €1.
