Material in transit

This query is : Resolved 

05 February 2018 One of my client engaged in Export of Goods and import of goods.During the year ended company has purchases a goods from America and it was in transit. so company has recorded it as "Material in Transit" on 31/03/2017 at on prevailing exchange rate of Rs.50/$.
the entry has been made as followed by the company

Material in Transit A/c Dr. Material Value*50
To Party Material Value*50


On 15.04.2017 the company has received goods. and on that date foreign exchange rate prevailing Rs. 55.
The Company again recorded the goods as follows:

Purchases A/c dr. Material Value*55
To Party Material Value*55

and after receiving of Goods the company has reverse the Entry which was posted on year 31.03.2017
The reversal entry was as followed:

Party Ac/ Dr. Material Value* 50
To MIT Material Value*50

Whether this treatment is correct or wrong?

06 February 2018 This treatment is right.

07 February 2018 Dear Sir

If we posted purchases @ 55, it means that we clubbing the Exchange difference (55-50)=5 in current year.
Its my opinion the purchases should be posted @ 50 and difference should be posted as foreign exchange if payment made to party. Because we already posted MIT in preceeding year.


08 February 2018 As per AS 11,
(b) income and expense items of the non-integral foreign
operation should be translated at exchange rates at the dates
of the transactions;
So exchange rate as on the transaction date to be considered.
