Scenario: PayStream, a FinTech firm whose functional currency is the Dinar (D), issued 10,000 convertible bonds on 1 January 20X5 at their par value of D100 each.

On 1 November 20X5, PayStream bought servers from a US supplier for $100,000 USD. Exchange rates: 1 Nov: $1 = D0.80; 31 Dec: $1 = D0.85. The invoice is unpaid at year-end.
