(b) Which method should Victoria Textiles Limited apply to its investment in this subsidiary?
multiple choice
In Year 1, Victoria Textiles Limited decided that its Aslan operations had expanded such that an Aslan office should be established. The office would be involved in selling Victoria's current product lines: It was also expected to establish supplier contacts. In the Aslan market, there were a number of small manufacturers of top-quality fabrics, particularly silk and lace, but from Victoria's home office in Ontarlo it was difficult to find and maintain these suppliers. To assist in doing so, a wholly owned company, Victoria Textiles (India) Limited, was created, and a facility was established in India in January, Year 2. The new company. VTIL, was given the mandate from head office to buy and sell with other Victoria divisions and offices across Canada as if it were an autonomous, Independent unit. To establish the company, an investment of 10.000.000 Indian rupees (INR) was made on January 1, Year 2. VTIL proved to be quite successful, as shown in the following financial statements at December 31, Year 4. After one year of operations, VTIL had borrowed funds and expanded facilities substantially, as the initial market estimates had turned out to be quite conservative. However, during this time the rupee had fallen in value relative to the Canadian dollar. As a result, Victoria's management was somewhat confused about how to evaluate VTIL's success, given the changing currency values.
