all the balance sheet items of the US unit should be converted at the closing rate of the balance sheet & all the profit & loss account items are to be converted at the average rate for the year.
All the items are to be added by line by line & the inter unit transfers / income / expenses are to be eliminated.
all the exchange fluctuations are to treated as foreign exchange fluctuation reserve account under the balance sheet - Reserves & Surplus.
