02 June 2012 sir,
I have a query regarding foreign exchange difference to be charged in profit and loss account.

Example:
a company is purchasing goods from local as well as from foreign countries.
suppose a company have purchased goods from Malaysia purchase invoice - 80000$
advance payment 30% - 24000 @ 45.99 rs 1103760
balance payment 70% - 56000 @ 46.59 rs 2609040
rate of $ 45.99 and 46.99 are as per bank advice provided by bank during payment.

1) company is recording the transaction by using 46.59 rs per $ rate for full bill. I.e 80000 @ 46.59 rs per $(80000 @ 46.59 = 3727200)(3727200-1103760-2609040 = 14400 charging toward foreign exchange difference in books of accounts
or taking an average of both the rates (45.99+46.59/2)for recording purchase in books of accounts

Question:
what would be the actual policy followed by company in the above case?

02 June 2012 Account for the transaction on the date of purchase by using that day's spot rate and credit liability.

Any difference arisng on advances or outstanding amount is to be taken to P&L.
