Question:
On January 1, 20X1. Par Company purchased all the outstanding stock of North Bay Company, located in Canada, for \(\$ 120.000\). On January 1, 20X1, the direct exchange rate for the Canadian dollar ( \(\mathrm{C} \$\) ) was \(\mathrm{C} \$ 1=\$ .80\). The book value of North Bay Company on January 1, 20X1, was C \(\$ 90,000\). The fair value of North Bay's plant and equipment was C \(\$ 10,000\) greater than book value, and the plant and equipment is being depreciated over 10 years, with no salvage value. The remainder of the differential is attributable to a trademark which will be amortized over 10 years.
During 20X1. North Bay Company earned \(\mathbf{C} \$ 20,000\) in income and declared and paid \(\mathrm{C} \$ 8,000\) in dividends. The dividends were declared and paid in Canadian dollars when the exchange rate was \(C \$ 1=\$ .75\). On December \(31,20 X 1\), Par Company continues to hold the Canadian currency received from the dividend. On December 31, 20X1, the direct exchange rate is \(\mathbf{C \$ 1}=\$ .70\). The average exchange rate during \(20 \mathrm{X} 1\) was \(\mathbf{C} \$ 1=\$ .75\). Management has determined that the Canadian dollar is the appropriate functional currency for North Bay Company.
