为什么the current rate method will give higher gross profit to the parent company if the subsidiary’s currency is depreciating

NO.PZ2023040501000075

问题如下:

Pedro Ruiz is an analyst for a credit rating agency. One of the companies he follows, Eurexim SA, is based in France and complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Ruiz has learned that Eurexim used EUR220 million of its own cash and borrowed an equal amount to open a subsidiary in Ukraine. Ukraine is not currently in a hyperinflationary environment, but Ruiz is concerned that this situation could change. Ruiz also believes the euro will appreciate against the hryvnia for the foreseeable future.

Given Ruiz’s belief about the direction of exchange rates, Eurexim’s gross profit margin would be highest if it accounts for the Ukraine subsidiary’s inventory using:

选项:

A.

FIFO and the temporal method.

B.

FIFO and the current rate method.

C.

weighted-average cost and the temporal method.

解释:

Ruiz expects the EUR to appreciate against the UAH and expects some inflation in the Ukraine. In an inflationary environment, FIFO will generate a higher gross profit than weighted-average cost. For either inventory choice, the current rate method will give higher gross profit to the parent company if the subsidiary’s currency is depreciating. Thus, using FIFO and translating using the current rate method will generate a higher gross profit for the parent company, Eurexim SA, than any other combination of choices.

因为current rate method是对revenue和所有的expense都按平均汇率进行转换

而temporal method是对revenue用平均汇率转换,而对COGS则用发生时的历史汇率转换

子公司的货币在贬值,意味着历史的汇率可转成母公司的金额高于平均汇率可转换的金额,那temporal method就会转换得到更高的COGS,那毛利率自然就越低;反之,current rate就会得到更高的毛利率

Revenue大家都用的Avg,问题出在COGS上,B用的是Avg,C用的是Weight,这两个汇率看不出大小吧,加权平均和平均如何比,题干没有信息
