b) What entry, if any, would be necessary in relation to the loan in the books of Ausco Ltd at 30 June 20X8? Give reasons for your answer.
No entry is required. The loan is in AUD $ and Auscos accounting records are in AUD, Auscos functional currency and presentation currency.
No foreign currency gain or loss can arise because it is not a foreign currency transaction.
c) Assume that instead of lending in AUD, Ausco Ltd made an interest-free loan of FC200,000 to Forco Ltd on 1/7/20X7. Record the loan in the books of Ausco Ltd: Dr Loan to Sub $100,000
The amount is recorded in AUD at the rate applicable at the date of the transaction.
d) What entry, if any, would be necessary in relation to the loan in the books of Ausco Ltd at 30 June 20X8? Give reasons for your answer.
Dr Foreign currency loss $20,000 Cr Loan to Sub
The loan receivable is translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period and the foreign currency gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
FC 200,000 / 2.5 = AUD 80,000; Loan is reduced by AUD 20,000 and a foreign currency loss of AUD 20,000 is recognised.
e) How will the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss in relation to the loan differ between the separate financial statements of Ausco Ltd and the consolidated financial statements of the Ausco Group?

In the separate financial statements of Ausco Ltd the foreign currency loss is recognised in profit or loss. In preparing the consolidated financial statements the foreign currency loss is transferred to the foreign currency translation reserve because the loan is part of the net investment in a foreign operation that has a different functional currency (whose financial statements are therefore translated using the current rate method). Refer AASB 121. 32-33.
