medium · Financial Accounting liabilities-bonds-payable

A US parent designates a €50,000,000 EUR-denominated loan as a net investment hedge of its French subsidiary (functional currency: EUR). During the year, the EUR strengthens against the USD.

Where is the gain or loss on the loan reported in the consolidated financial statements?

  1. In Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), as part of the Cumulative Translation Adjustment
  2. In Net Income, since the EUR loan is classified as a monetary liability on the books
  3. As a direct adjustment to the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiary
  4. Split between Net Income and OCI, allocated according to measured hedge effectiveness
