| tkorchmaros | use current exchange rate on all assets and liabilities. use the average rate to translate the income statement |
| danlan2 | Historical is used for exchanged rate, temporal method versus all-current method, historical rate is more used in temporal method. |
| jmcarr02 | Instead of the average rate applied to the depreciation you could also have used the historical rate. Both rates accepted. |
