Dear sir,


A company has purchased $500 for Rs25000 (rate is Rs 50 per dollar) gave to the employee as foreign travel advance, after completion of his travel he returned $100 dollar to the company (rate as on that date is Rs45) could you clarify me which entry is true??????? give reasons and on which basis???????


(a)  Foreign travel expences a/c  Dr   20,000   ($400*Rs50=Rs20,000)


      Bank a/c Dr                          Dr   4500     (assuming $ has converted into rupees                                     


                                                                        100*45=4500)


      Foreign exchange loss        Dr     500        (100*5=500)


      Foreign travel advance        Cr      25,000


 


(b)  Foreign travel expences a/c  Dr   18,000    ($400*Rs45=Rs18,000)


      Bank a/c Dr                          Dr   4500     (assuming $ has converted into rupees                                     


                                                                        100*45=4500)


      Foreign exchange loss        Dr     2500        (500*5=2500)


      Foreign travel advance        Cr      25,000

I think the 2nd one is correct.
Mr. Jagdish First entry is correct subject to that no bank charges exist
1st one is correct, we should not calculate Forex loss on total amount
Hi Jagdish I will suggest following entries it will help you 1) Travel Advance Dr. 25000 To Bank 25000 (Being $500 purchased @ 50) 2) Bank Dr. 4500 Loss on foreign exchange 500 To Travel Advance 5000 (Being $100 recd @ 45 and loss accounted) 3) Foreign Trevelling Exp Dr 20000 To Travel Advance 20000 ( Being $400 @ 50 incurred for foreign travelling)
both are wrong. answere by Rachana Gadage is correct
