A Ltd is a Singapore-incorporated company and its functional and presentation currency is Singapore Dollar ($). It adopts Singapore Financial Reporting Standards and presents yearly financial statements with 31 December year-end.
B Bhd is a Malaysia-incorporated company and its functional and presentation currency is Ringgit Malaysia (RM). It adopts Malaysia Financial Reporting Standards and presents yearly financial statements with 31 December year-end.
On 1 January 20x8, A Ltd paid $175,000 to acquire a 100% controlling interest in B Bhd, when the fair value of B Bhd's identifiable net assets was represented by share capital of RM100,000 and retained profit of RM100,000, except for its freehold land, which was carried at cost of RM500,000 but had a market value of RM600,000.
On 1 October 20x8, A Ltd extended an interest-free loan of RM100,000 to B Bhd, for which repayment was not scheduled for. This loan has been properly accounted for as "part of a reporting entity's net investment in a foreign operation" in the respective financial statements of A Ltd and B Bhd.

The exchange rates when B Bhd was incorporated with the issuance of 100,000 ordinary shares at RM1.00 each in 20x1 and when B Bhd bought the land in 20x2 were RM1.00 = $0.80 and RM1.00 = $0.70 respectively.
