A Company wants to import certain material. The supplier has put the advance payment terms with company. Hence company paid to supplier in advance 2000$USD @ Rs.52 per $USD. Later material was imported and bill was booked @ Rs.50 per $USD. Now the difference arising due to exchange fluctuation of Rs.2 per $USD should it be added to material cost or should it be transferred to Exchange fluctuation A/c and then transferred to P&L A/c ???
