A Ltd., whose functional currency is Indian Rupee, had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of 2,00,000, but no trade receivables or trade payables on 1st April, 20X2. During 20X2-20X3, A Ltd. entered into the following foreign currency transactions: 1. A Ltd. purchased goods for resale from Europe for € 1,00,000 when the exchange rate was € 1 = 105. This balance is still unpaid at 31st March, 20X3 when the exchange rate is € 1 = 100. 2. A Ltd. sold the goods to an American client for $ 1,50,000 when the exchange rate was $1 = 85. This amount was settled when the exchange rate was $1 = 87. 3. A Ltd. also borrowed € 1,00,000 under a long-term loan agreement when the exchange rate was € 1 = 105 and immediately converted it to 1,05,00,000. Recommend how cash flows arising from above transactions would be reported in the statement of cash flows under indirect method.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

An exchange gain on retranslation of the trade payable of 5,00,000 is recorded in profit or loss [€ 1,00,000 x (105 – 100) = 5,00,000]. A further exchange gain of 3,00,000 regarding the trade receivable is recorded in the statement of profit or loss [$ 1,50,000 x (87 – 85) = 3,00,000]. The loan was retranslated at 31st March, 20X3 @100 = 1,00,00,000, with a further exchange gain of 5,00,000 recorded in the statement of profit or loss. A Ltd. therefore records a cumulative exchange gain of 13,00,000 (5,00,000 + 3,00,000 + 5,00,000) in arriving at its profit for the year. In addition, A Ltd. records a gross profit of 22,50,000 (₹ 1,05,00,000 - 1,27,50,000) on the sale of the goods.
