What will be the impact of the exchange rate effect on the translated U.S. dollar earnings of the Japanese subsidiary? Time R Attempt c 31 Min The year 2 value would be $3 Million higher owing to the fact that the U.S dollar has depreciated against the JPY The year 1 value would be $3 Million lower owing to the fact that the JPY has depreciated against the U.S. dollar O The year 2 value would be $3 Million lower owing to the fact that the U.S dollar has depreciated against the JPY O The year 2 value would be $3 Million higher owing to the fact that the U.S. dollar has appreciated against the JPY

Explanation / Answer

Exchange rates in:

Year 1 = $0.009 per Japanese Yen

Year 2 = $0.012 per Japanese Yen

Dollar is depreciated by $0.003 per Japanese Yen (0.012-0.009)

So in Year 2, the earning will be lower by $3 Million ( $0.003* 1 Billion Japanese yen)

Answer 3) The Year 2 value would be $3 Million lower owing to the fact that the US dollar has depreciated against the JPY.
