Because in the current rate method, not only assets and liabilities are translated, but also income and expenses. So the answer is B) False.

Current rate method, huh? Sounds like something out of a financial wizardry manual. I'll go with true, but I'm half-expecting a trick question.

Ah, the old currency translation dilemma. I think this is true, but I'd better review the textbook just to be sure.

This is a tricky one! I remember learning about the current rate method, but I'm not sure if it applies to all foreign operations. Better double-check my notes.
