Your client gets a bill from a French vendor for 100 euros on March 1 at an exchange rate of 1.2 dollars to the euro and pays on April 1 at an exchange rate of 1.3 dollars to the euro. What would you see in the Transaction Journal for the bill payment?

Answer:

The Transaction that to be entered in the Account would be:

Account payable A/c Dr.    130$

     To Bank A/c                              130$

Also,

Profit and Loss A/c Dr.            10$

  To Foreign Exchange Fluctuation loss A/c  10$

Step-by-step explanation:

client received a bill as per question mentioned of 100 Euros on March 1 when the exchange rate is 1 Euro = 1.20 $,

Accordingly the price liable to be paid as on date 1 March is

100 Euro × 1.20= 120 $ .

Further, the client is agreed to pay the amount on the April 1 when the exchange rate stands out at 1.30 $, that specifies that the client now has to pay the extra price due to the exchange rate fluctuation i.e.

(1.30 - 1.20)$ = 0.10$ to the French vendor.

Therefore , the Transaction that to be entered in the Account would be:

Account payable A/c Dr.    130$

     To Bank A/c                              130$

Also,

Profit and Loss A/c Dr.            10$

  To Foreign Exchange Fluctuation loss A/c  10$
