PLEASE HELP!!!! Posted earlier, but the answers given by a Chegg expert are wrong. Please help!! Thank you so much!!! Rolfe Company (a U.S.-based company) has a subsidiary in Nigeria where the local currency unit is the naira (NGN). On December 31, 2016, the subsidiary had the following balance sheet (amounts are in thousands (000's)):

Cash NGN 16,750 Notes payable NGN 20,300
Inventory 11,500 Common stock 21,900
Land 4,150 Retained earnings 10,950
Building 41,500
Accumulated depreciation (20,750 )
NGN 53,150 NGN 53,150

The subsidiary acquired the inventory on August 1, 2016, and the land and building in 2010. It issued the common stock in 2008. During 2017, the following transactions took place:

2017

Feb. 1 Paid 8,150,000 NGN on the note payable.

May 1 Sold entire inventory for 17,500,000 NGN on account.

June 1 Sold land for 6,150,000 NGN cash.

Aug. 1 Collected all accounts receivable.

Sept.1 Signed long-term note to receive 8,150,000 NGN cash.

Oct. 1 Bought inventory for 20,150,000 NGN cash.

Nov. 1 Bought land for 3,150,000 NGN on account.

Dec. 1 Declared and paid 3,150,000 NGN cash dividend to parent.

Dec. 31 Recorded depreciation for the entire year of 2,075,000 NGN.

The U.S dollar ($) exchange rates for 1 NGN are as follows:

2008 NGN 1=$0.0063

2010 1= 0.0057

August 1, 2016 1= 0.0077

December 31, 2016 1= 0.0079

February 1, 2017 1= 0.0081

May 1, 2017 1= 0.0083

June 1, 2017 1= 0.0085

August 1, 2017 1= 0.0089

September 1, 2017 1= 0.0091

October 1, 2017 1= 0.0093

November 1, 2017 1= 0.0095

December 1, 2017 1= 0.0097

December 31, 2017 1= 0.0114

Average for 2017 1= 0.0104

a. Assuming the NGN is the subsidiary's functional currency, what is the translation adjustment determined solely for 2017?

b. Assuming the U.S.$ is the subsidiary's functional currency, what is the remeasurement gain or loss determined solely for 2017?
