Answer:

D. Debit exchange gains and losses and credit accounts payable for $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.85 FCU = 1 dollar

1,000 x 0.85 = 850

0.90 FCU = 1 dollar

1,000 x .90 = 900

exchange 850 -900 = -50 = loss 50

november 15

inventory 850

account payable 850

december 15

exchange gans and losses 50 debit

account payable 50 credit

december 15

account payable 900 debit

cash 900 credit
