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 16,240 Notes payable NGN 20,180
Inventory 10,900 Common stock 21,000
Land 4,090 Retained earnings 10,500
Building 40,900
Accumulated depreciation (20,450 )
NGN 51,680 NGN 51,680

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 8,090,000 NGN on the note payable.
May 1 Sold entire inventory for 16,900,000 NGN on account.
June 1 Sold land for 6,090,000 NGN cash.
Aug. 1 Collected all accounts receivable.
Sept.1 Signed long-term note to receive 8,090,000 NGN cash.
Oct. 1 Bought inventory for 20,090,000 NGN cash.
Nov. 1 Bought land for 3,090,000 NGN on account.
Dec. 1 Declared and paid 3,090,000 NGN cash dividend to parent.
Dec. 31 Recorded depreciation for the entire year of 2,045,000 NGN.

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

2008 NGN 1 = $ 0.0057
2010 1 = 0.0051
August 1, 2016 1 = 0.0071
December 31, 2016 1 = 0.0073
February 1, 2017 1 = 0.0075
May 1, 2017 1 = 0.0077
June 1, 2017 1 = 0.0079
August 1, 2017 1 = 0.0083
September 1, 2017 1 = 0.0085
October 1, 2017 1 = 0.0087
November 1, 2017 1 = 0.0089
December 1, 2017 1 = 0.0091
December 31, 2017 1 = 0.0102
Average for 2017 1 = 0.0092

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

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

(Input all amounts as positive. Enter amounts in whole dollars.)
