Foreign currency. A currency other than the functional currency of the reporting entity being
referred to (for example, the Philippine peso could be a foreign currency for a foreign entity).
Foreign currency transactions. Transactions whose terms are denominated in a currency other
than the reporting entity’s functional currency. Foreign currency transactions arise when an
enterprise (1) buys or sells goods or services on credit whose prices are denominated in foreign
currency, (2) borrows or lends funds and the amounts payable or receivable
are denominated in foreign currency, (3) is a party to an unperformed forward exchange contract,
or (4) for other reasons, acquires or disposes of assets or incurs or settles liabilities denominated
in foreign currency.
Functional currency. The currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates; normally, the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and
expends cash.
Monetary items. Cash, claims to receive a fixed amount of cash, and obligations to pay a fixed
amount of cash.
Non-monetary items. All statement of financial position items other than cash, claims to cash,
and cash obligations.
Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully understand the
following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages. Please note that you are not
limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books,
research articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary,
search.proquest.com etc., and even online tutorial websites.
Example: 1 FC= P 25
# of FC 20,000 FC
IER = 1 FCU
PH peso equivalent value
So in the preceding example one PH peso could be converted into .04 FC (1/25)
✓ Spot rates are classified as either buying or selling (also called bid and offer rates,
respectively). If the domestic entity exports, the buying rate is used since this would be
the price that the foreign buyer would pay for the goods. If the domestic entity imports,
the selling rate is used.
✓ Suppose the domestic company exports goods on F.O.B. destination freight terms. On
the date of transaction, the spot rate to be used will be as of the date when the goods
reached the buyer the point when legal title is passed under the freight term. Of course, if
on F.O.B. shipping point, it will be when shipped.
✓ The domestic entity recognizes forex gains or losses as the spot rate changes during the
aforementioned dates only. For instance, if the domestic entity is an exporter (thus it has
outstanding accounts receivable) and the buying spot rate increases, the entity
recognizes forex gains to be recorded in profit/loss (together with an increase in
accounts receivable).
✓ The foreign entity does not record any forex gains or losses since the transaction is
denominated in their currency. The final cash payment during the date of settlement shall
of course still be at the spot rate, so is the cost at which the asset purchased is recorded
It should be noted that the date of commitment does not give rise to any liability because it may
be cancelled any time by the buyer; therefore, there is no required entry on November 1,2014.
The Philippine firm would prepare the following journal entry on December 1,2014:
December 1,2014 (Transaction date):
At the balance sheet date, the accounts payable denominated in foreign currency is adjusted
using the exchange rate (spot rate) in effect at the balance sheet date (known as the closing or
current rate). The journal entry on:
December 31,2014 (Balance sheet date):
If the exchange rate had declined below P40.55 for example to P40.50, the Philippines would
have recognized a gain of P1,000 since it would take only P810,000 ($20,000*P40.50) to settle
the P811,000 recorded liability.
On the settlement date, the Philippine firm must buy dollars in order to satisfy the liability. With
change in the exchange rate to P40.65, the firm must buy P813,000 ($20,000*P40.65) on March
1,2015, to acquire the $20,000. The journal entry on:
Over the three-month period, the decision to delay making payment cost the firm P2,000 (the
P813,000 cash paid less the original payable amount of P811,000). This net amount was
recognized as a loss of P5,000 in 2014 and a gain of 3,000 in 2015.
Note in the preceding example that on December 31, the balance sheet date, a transaction loss
was recognized on the open account payable. Such a loss is considered unrealized because the
account has not yet been settled or closed. When an account payable (or receivable) is settled
or closed, a transaction gain or loss on the settlement is considered realized.
