D. 2. Daniella Co. started 2015 with two assets: cash of §26,000 (stickles) and land that
originally cost §72,000 when acquired on April 4, 2011. On May 1, 2015, the company
rendered services to a customer for §36,000, an amount immediately paid in cash. On
October 1, 2015, the company incurred an operating expense of §22,000 that was
immediately paid. No other transactions occurred during the year. Currency exchange
rates were as follows:
April 4, 2011 §1 = $.28
January 1, 2015 §1 = $.29
May 1, 2015 §1 = $.30
October 1, 2015 §1 = $.31
Average for 2015 §1 = $.32
December 31, 2015 §1 = $.35
Assume (1) that Daniella was a foreign subsidiary of a U.S. multinational company that

C 28. Kent Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Haste Company of
Canada for U.S. $350,000 on January 1, 2013, when the exchange rate for the Canadian
dollar (CAD) was U.S. $.70. The fair value of the net assets of Haste was equal to their
book value of CAD 450,000 on the date of acquisition. Any acquisition consideration
excess over fair value was attributed to an unrecorded patent with a remaining life of five
years. The functional currency of Haste is the Canadian dollar.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, Haste's trial balance net income was translated at
U.S. $25,000. The average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar during 2013 was U.S.
$.68, and the 2013 year-end exchange rate was U.S. $.65.
Patent Value $35,000/$.70 = Patent Value C$50,000/5 yrs = C$10,000 per year × $.68 = $6,800
