Question

Brisco Bricks purchases raw material from its foreign supplier, Bolivian Clay, on May 8. Payment of 2,000,000 foreign currency units (FC) is due in 30 days. May 31 is Brisco's fiscal year-end. The pertinent exchange rates were as follows:

May 8 Spot rate: $ 1.25
May 31 Spot rate: $ 1.26
Jun. 7 Spot rate: $ 1.20
For what amount should Brisco's Accounts Payable be credited on May 8?

Answer 1

$2,500,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount which would be credited is shown below:

= Payment of foreign currency units (FC) is due in 30 days × exchange rate i.e spot rate on May 31

= 2,000,000 × $1.25

= $2,500,000

We simply multiply the payment with the spot rate so that the accurate value can come.
