Discuss the american companys financial statements


An American Company borrowed 1million Canadian dollars to finance the construction of an office building when the Canadian dollar was worth $1 US. At 10% interest, the American Company expected to pay back 1.1 million Canadian dollars which would cost $1.1 million US dollars. Unfortunately, based on changes in the value of the Canadian dollar, the American Company must pay $1.3 million US dollars to satisfy this debt. How will this $200,000 US dollar difference be shown on the American Company's financial statements under GAAP? How would this have been shown if the American Company used IFRS? Which gives us more relevant information? Explain.
