Millager Company is a U.S.-based multinational corporation with the U.S. dollar (USD) as its reporting currency. To prepare consolidated financial statements for 2017, the company must translate the accounts of its subsidiary in Mexico, Cadengo S.A. On December 31, 2016, Cadengo's balance sheet was translated from Mexican pesos (MXN) (its functional currency) into U.S. dollars as prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Equity accounts at that date follow:

December 31, 2016 ______________________________ MXN _______________ USD

Common stock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12,000,000 ..............1,000,000

Retained earnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,500,000 .............. 200,000

Cumulative translation adjustment (debit balance) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (40,000)

Early in 2017, Cadengo negotiated a 5,000 Brazilian real (BRL) loan from a bank in Rio de Janeiro and established a sales office in Brazil. At the end of 2017, Cadengo provided Millager a trial balance that includes all of Cadengo's Mexican peso-denominated transactions for the year. A separate ledger has been maintained for transactions carried out by the Brazilian sales office that are denominated in BRL. A trial balance for the Brazilian real-denominated transactions follows Cadengo's MXN trial balance.
