Gotta be the Temporal method. Unless this exam is designed to give me a migraine, in which case I'll go with D) Cash inflow/outflow.

I remember studying this, and yes, it's C) Temporal method because it considers the timing of cash flows.

C) Temporal method, no doubt. Translating at the balance sheet date is the way to go. Anything else would be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!

Hmm, the Temporal method sounds right. I'm just hoping this isn't a trick question that involves a sombrero or something.
