| bartyi | shouldn't iv be included as well because it is monetary asset and temporal and current metthod uses the current rate. |
| bhmcfa | bartyi: the question says "translated at an average exchange rate." |
| mrpman | why is 2 an option. the answer says COGS and DEPR exp are both translated at historical rate, only sales would be average rate. Can anyone advise? |
