Step 3: Calculate the total debit and credit amounts in dollars to ensure they match.
Let's go through each account and apply the necessary calculations:
1. Cash:
- Balance: SFr 7,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 7,000 * $0.80 = $5,600
2. Accounts Receivable (net):
- Balance: SFr 20,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 20,000 * $0.80 = $16,000
3. Receivable from Popular Creek:
- Balance: SFr 5,000 (denominated in Swiss francs)
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80

- Calculation: SFr 25,000 * $0.80 = $20,000
5. Plant and Equipment:
- Balance: SFr 100,000
- Exchange rate on March 1: 1 SFr = $0.74
- Calculation: SFr 100,000 * $0.74 = $74,000
6. Accumulated Depreciation:
- Balance: SFr 10,000
- Exchange rate on March 1: 1 SFr = $0.74
- Calculation: SFr 10,000 * $0.74 = $7,400
7. Accounts Payable:
- Balance: SFr 12,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 12,000 * $0.80 = $9,600
8. Bonds Payable:
- Balance: SFr 50,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 50,000 * $0.80 = $40,000
9. Common Stock:
- Balance: SFr 60,000
- Exchange rate on January 1: 1 SFr = $0.73
- Calculation: SFr 60,000 * $0.73 = $43,800
10. Sales:
- Balance: SFr 150,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 150,000 * $0.80 = $120,000
11. Cost of Goods Sold:
- Balance: SFr 70,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 70,000 * $0.80 = $56,000
12. Depreciation Expense:
- Balance: SFr 10,000
- Exchange rate on March 1: 1 SFr = $0.74
- Calculation: SFr 10,000 * $0.74 = $7,400
13. Operating Expense:
- Balance: SFr 30,000
- Exchange rate on December 31: 1 SFr = $0.80
- Calculation: SFr 30,000 * $0.80 = $24,000
14. Dividends Paid:
- Balance: SFr 15,000
- Exchange rate on November 1: 1 SFr = $0.77
- Calculation: SFr 15,000 * $0.77 = $11,550
Now, let's calculate the total debit and credit amounts in dollars:
Total Debits: $5,600 + $16,000 + $4,000 + $20,000 + $74,000 + $7,400 + $9,600 = $136,600
Total Credits: $43,800 + $40,000 + $120,000 + $56,000 + $7,400 + $24,000 + $11,550 = $302,750
The total debit and credit amounts in dollars do not match. There seems to be an error in the calculations or recording of the trial balance. Please double-check the calculations or provide any additional information if necessary.
