Choosing the parent’s currency as the functional currency means one should use the temporal method .Selecting this functional currency implies that the resulting consolidated financial statements will reflect the transactions engaged in by the subsidiary as if the parent had engaged in those transactions directly for example, a company may choose to set up a sales subsidiary in a foreign country for legal or cultural convenience. The parent ships all of the goods to the subsidiary, which sells the goods in the foreign country. The subsidiary then remits the proceeds to the parent . if the foreign currency is remitted to the parent, the parent will report a foreign exchange gain or loss when the currency is converted to dollars. If the subsidiary remits the currency to the parent, the final result is the same as if the parent had directly engaged in transactions in the foreign country. The method used to translate the subsidiary ‘s financial statements should result in consolidated financial statements that reflect this underlying similarity. The temporal method is designed to accomplish this. The gain or loss on remeasurement is included in current year consolidated income because the transactions of the subsidiary are assumed to have immediarte or almost immediate cash implications for the parent.
