Question
Jameson now computes the adjustment to WB's financial data due to Kasamatsu's payment of dividends. What is the U.S. dollar amount of this adjustment (in thousands)?
Answer Choices:
A. $400
B. $414
C. $446
Explanation
WB receives a cash dividend from their subsidiary. This dividend must be translated at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date the dividend is declared (145/$). $58,000 / 145 = 400.
Both remaining answers use incorrect exchange rates.
