Using facts in the chapter for Trident Europe, assume as in Problem 1 that the exchange rate on January 2, 2006, in Exhibit 10.4 dropped in value from $1.2000/ to $0.9000/ (rather than to $1.0000/). Recalculate Trident Europes translated balance sheet for January 2, 2006, with the new exchange rate using the temporal rate method.

What is the amount of translation gain or loss?

Where should it appear in the financial statements?

Why does the translation loss or gain under the

temporal method differ from the loss or gain under the current rate method?
