Explanation of Solution
The entity’s domestic currency is not always considered as functional currency. For instance, if the company in X country borrows funds from the bank of Y country than the currency of Y country is functional currency rather than the currency used in country X.
Some of the major factors which reflects that the currency is not a functional currency are as follows:
- Cashflows: If cashflows are generated in other country. For instance, the Country X operates in country Y, then the currency of Country Y will be considered as functional currency.
- Financing: Funds procured from other country in their currency.
- Sales market: If goods and services are sold in other country at their currency.
- Expenses: If goods and services are purchased from other country. For instance, if country X’s domestic currency is dollar and the goods and services bought from country Y is in Yen, then Yen will be the functional currency.
