Answer Posted / badri
I got the answer close may not exact. The above answer had a
little ambiguity.
Answers are -
1. Interest rate- The interest rate of the USA may differ
that of the interest rate of Germany.
2. Conversion of currency - The fluctuation of currency.
While converting the USD to Germany currency that would show
loss. As USD value is less than Germany currency.
3. Cash flow impact :- While the investing row of cash flow
statement may differ both the organization.
4. Accounting standards- The application of accounting
standards might differ country to country.
I believe due to these things the XYZ ltd shows loss.
