Question 2:
How are translation gains and losses handled differently according to the current rate method in comparison to the other three methods, that is, the current/ noncurrent method, the monetary/nonmonetary method, and the temporal method?
It is, generally, not possible to completely eliminate both translation 'exposure and transaction exposure. In some cases, the elimination of one exposure will also eliminate the other. But in other cases, the elimination of one exposure actually creates the other.
Discuss which exposure might be viewed as the most important to effectively manage, if a conflict between controlling both arises. Also, discuss and critique the common methods for controlling translation exposure.
