Explanation
How to use the Multi-Currency Financial Statement Translation Calculator?
This calculator allows you to convert an amount from a source currency to a target currency based on a given exchange rate. The conversion is essential for businesses and individuals dealing with multiple currencies, especially when preparing financial statements or making international transactions.
The conversion formula is:
§§ \text{Target Amount} = \text{Source Amount} \times \text{Exchange Rate} §§
where:
- § \text{Target Amount} § — the amount in the target currency after conversion.
- § \text{Source Amount} § — the amount in the source currency that you want to convert.
- § \text{Exchange Rate} § — the rate at which the source currency can be exchanged for the target currency.
Example:
If you have a source amount of $100 (USD) and the exchange rate to EUR is 1.2, the calculation would be:
§§ \text{Target Amount} = 100 \times 1.2 = 120 \text{ EUR} §§
