Accounting perspective: 80,000 – 50,000 = 30,000 profit
Finance manager perspective: 0 – 50,000 = 50,000 loss

Subsidiary Characterization and Functional Currency
For a multinational company based outside the United States, its foreign subsidiaries’ type of
operations will determine the translation method the firm will use
For U.S. based MNCs, the determining factor is the functional currency of each subsidiary
(The currency the subsidiary primarily generates and expends cash before f/s are submitted
to the parent company for consolidation).
Current rate method: a standard method of currency translation that utilizes the current
market exchange rate
Temporal method: (also known as the historical method) converts the currency of a foreign
subsidiary into the currency of the parent company. This technique of foreign currency
translation is used when the local currency of the subsidiary is not the same as the currency
of the parent company.
