I'm feeling a bit 'foreign' to this exchange rate stuff. Maybe I should just 'convert' my answer to a lucky guess.

I see where you're coming from, Hector. It's important to consider the exchange rates when determining the value of goodwill in a foreign currency.

Goodwill? More like 'good riddance' to this tricky exchange rate question!

I'm going to go with the 'exchange rate at the date of acquisition' approach. Time to put my foreign currency knowledge to the test!

I believe the correct answer is B) A$66,667 because we need to convert the B$100,000 using the exchange rates given.

Wow, this is a real exchange rate conundrum! I'm just hoping the answer isn't 'D) A$132,000' - that would be too easy.

Wait, hold up! Shouldn't we be using the exchange rate from the acquisition date, not the year-end rate? I'm going with C) A$150,000.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe the answer is B$66,667 since that's the equivalent of B$100,000 at the 1.5 exchange rate.

I think the answer is A$75,758. The exchange rates provided show that the goodwill of B$100,000 at acquisition would be worth A$132,000 at the year-end exchange rate.
