The negative translation adjustment in part 1(a) arises because of two factors: (1) there is a net asset
balance sheet exposure and (2) the Czech koruna has depreciated against the U.S. dollar during 2017 (from
$.040 at 1/1/17 to $.030 at 12/31/17). A net asset balance sheet exposure exists because all assets are
translated at the current exchange rate and exceed total liabilities which are also translated at the current
exchange rate. The remeasurement gain in part I(b) arises because of two factors: (1) there is a net
monetary liability balance sheet exposure and (2) the Czech koruna has depreciated against the U.S. dollar.
Under the temporal method, Cash and Accounts Receivable are the only assets translated at the current
exchange rate (total Kcs 5,300,000). Accounts Payable and Long-Term Debt are also translated at the
current exchange rate (total Kcs 52,500,000). Because the Czech koruna amount of liabilities translated at
the current rate exceeds the Czech koruna amount of assets translated at the current rate, a net monetary
liability balance sheet exposure exists. The remeasurement loss in part I(c) arises because of two factors:
(1) there is a net monetary asset balance sheet exposure and (2) the Czech koruna has depreciated against
the U.S. dollar during 2017. Cash and Accounts Receivable are the only assets translated at the current
exchange rate (total Kcs 5,300,000). Because there is no Long-term Debt in part 1(c), Accounts Payable is
the only liability translated at the current exchange rate (total Kcs 2,500,000). Because the Czech koruna
amount of the assets translated at the current rate exceeds the Czech koruna amount of liabilities translated
at the current rate, a net monetary asset balance sheet exposure exists.
