Answer:

Initial exchange rate Variance = $1 820 000

Ending exchange rate Variance = $1 320 000

Explanation:

In order to find the variance between the budgeted and the actual profits we have to find the Budgeted Profits and the Actual profits

Budgeted profits = budgeted revenue - budgeted expenses

                              =40 000 000 - 30 000 000

                               =10 000 000

Actual profits = actual revenue - actual expenses

                      = 50 000 000 - 42 000 000

                       = 8 000 000

These profits are in Argentina pesos and we have to convert to USD

at the beginning of the budget the exchange rate  USD 0.63 per ARS for budgeted and 0.56  in actual

Budgeted profit = 10 000 000 * 0.63 = $6 300 000

Actual Profit  = 8 000 000 * 0.56 = $4 480 000

Total budget Variance in USD = 6 300 000 - 4 480 000 = $1 820 000

At year end exchange for the rate for the budgeted USD 0.58 per ARS

Budgeted profit = 10 000 000 * 0.58= $5 800 000

Actual Profit  = 8 000 000 * 0.56 = $4 480 000

Total Budgeted Variance in USD = 5 800 000- 4 480 000 = $1 320 000
