a. 9/30/15 Cash $100,000
Note payable (dudek) [1,000,000 x $.10] $100,000
(To record the note and conversion of 1 million
dudeks into $ at the spot rate.)

Interest Payable (dudek) 625
Foreign Exchange Loss [5,000 dudeks x
($.15 – $.125)] 125
b. The effective cost of borrowing can be determined by considering the total
interest expense and foreign exchange losses related to the loan and
comparing this with the amount borrowed:
2015
Interest expense $525
Foreign exchange loss 5 ,000
Total $5,525 / $100,000 = 5.525% for 3 months
5.525% x 12/3 = 22.1% for 12 months
2016
Interest expense $2,425
Foreign exchange losses 20 ,075
Total $22,500 / $100,000 = 22.5% for 12 months
2017
30. (continued)
The net cash flow from this borrowing is:
Cash outflows:
Interest ($2,400 + $3,000) $5,400
Principal 150 ,000
Ignoring compounding, this results in an effective borrowing cost of approximately 27.7% per year [($55,400 /
$100,000) = 55.4% over two years;
55.4% / 2 years = 27.7% per year].
