Sundance Sporting Goods, .Inc., is a U.S. manufacturer of high-quality sporting goods-principally golf, tennis, and other racquet equipment, and also lawn sports, such as croquet and badminton-with administrative offices and manufacturing facilities in Chicago, Illinois. Sundance has two wholly owned manufacturing affiliates, one In Mexico and the other in Canada. The Mexican affiliate is located in Mexico City and services all of Latin America. The Canadian affiliate is in Toronto and serves only Canada. Each affiliate keeps its books in its local currency, which is also the functional currency for the affiliate. The current exchange rates are: $1.00 = CD 1.25 = Ps3.30 = A1.00 = ¥ 105 = W800. The nonconsolidated balance sheets for Sundance and its two affiliates appear in the accompanying table.
You joined the International Treasury division of Sundance six months ago after spending the last two years receiving your MBA degree. The corporate treasurer has asked you to prepare a report analyzing all aspects of the translation exposure faced by Sundance as a MNC. She has also asked you to address in your analysis the relationship between the firm's translation exposure and its transaction exposure. After performing a forecast of future spot rates of exchange, you decide that you must do the following before any sensible report can be written.
a. Using the current exchange rates and the nonconsolidated balance sheets for Sundance and its affiliates, prepare a consolidated balance sheet for the MNC according to FASB 52.
b. (i) Prepare a translation exposure report for Sundance Sporting Goods, Inc., and its two affiliates.
(ii) Using the translation exposure report you have prepared, determine if any reporting currency imbalance will result from a change in exchange rates to which the firm has currency exposure. Your forecast is that exchange rates will change from $1.00 = CD 1.25 = Ps3.30 = A1.00 = ¥ 105 = W800 to $1.00 = CD1.30 = Ps3.30 = A1.03 = ¥105 = W800.
c. Prepare a second consolidated balance sheet for the MNC using the exchange rates you expect in the future. Determine how any reporting currency imbalance will affect the new consolidated balance sheet for the MNC.
d. (i) Prepare a transaction exposure report for Sundance and its affiliates. Determine if any transaction exposures are also translation exposures.
(ii) Investigate what Sundance and its affiliates can do to control its transaction and translation exposures. Determine if any of the translation exposure should be hedged.
