On January 1, 20X1, Par Company purchased all the outstanding stock of North Bay Company, located in Canada, for $120,000. On January 1, 20X1, the direct exchange rate for the Canadian dollar (C$) was C$1 _ $.80. North Bay's book value on January 1, 20X1, was C$90,000. The fair value of North Bay's plant and equipment was C$10,000 more 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 earned C$20,000 in income and declared and paid 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, 20X1, Par continues to hold the Canadian currency received from the dividend. On December 31, 20X1, the direct exchange rate is C$1 _ $.70. The average exchange rate during 20X1 was C$1 _ $.75. Management has determined that the Canadian dollar is the appropriate functional currency for North Bay Company.
