Para 12 of AS 11 provides that payables are examples of monetary items.
Further, Para 11 provides that at each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items should be reported using the closing rate.
Also, Para 13 provides that exchange difference arising on reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded should be recognised as income or expense.
Accordingly, the treatment will be as under:
Payable = USD 400* 49 = Rs. 19,600/- Exchange loss (to be debited to P&L Account) = USD 400*1 = Rs. 400
In your books the payable account must be showing a balance of Rs. 19,200.
