* Functional Currency for Sul Corporation is the Euro (€).
** Note that on the worksheet retained earnings always appears at its beginning balance. Thus,
in the year of acquisition, it is translated at the historical rate. But in all subsequent years,
retained earnings will not be translated --- it will appear in the U.S. dollars column as last
years ending balance from the Statement of Retained Earnings. Thus, on the Translation
worksheet for year 2012, retained earnings (in dollars) will be $2,105,000.
