Question on Foreign currency Valuation

Answer Posted / raj

Foreign Currency valuation is used in reporting purpose.
As per accounting Concepts , We have to show expected Losses in report while dawing reports from system for free flow of funds.

FCV is used in all cases Like GL , VENDOR, CUSTOMER cases to calculate expected Loss or Profit...

EX: FCV result will come in 2 ways...
1. Unrealized Exchange gain/Loss
2. Realized Exchange Gain/Loss

Its applicable for Foreign Transactions.

EX : When we Purchased goods from vendor 10 Units @ 50$ * 60 Inr = 3000 Inr

When we run the FCV that time the Dollar value Increased ie; 62 Inr

Ie 100 Rs is the Exchange rate diff that 100 Rs will be UNREALIZED EXCHANGE LOSS....
Entry will be.
DR Unrealized Exchange Loss Acc
CR Balance Sheet adjustment Acc

After Drawing report Well reverse the entry.... Becaus the real transaction lot yet done...

Reversal entry
DR Balance Sheet adjustment Acc
CR Unrealized Exchange Loss Acc





Realized Exchange Gain/Loss:

Exchange rate is 58 rs
200 Rs is Profit for Company.

Entry will be.
