Foreign currency period-end revaluation: rate orientation · case 03
Revalued balances move inversely to the exchange rate.
Case contract
x = {'bid': [num, den], 'ask': [num, den], 'accounts': [[name, 'asset'|'liability', monetary, foreign units, carried home cents]]}. Monetary assets are revalued at the bid rate and monetary liabilities at the ask rate: home = foreign * num / den rounded half-up per account. Non-monetary accounts keep their carried amount. Unrealized gain sums (new - carried) for assets and (carried - new) for liabilities. Return {'balances': [[name, home]], 'unrealized_gain'}.
Why this case matters
Ledger software must keep debits equal to credits and apply normal-balance, period and cutoff rules exactly; small sign or boundary slips silently misstate financial statements.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

|---|---|---|---|
| regression: rate orientation | {"balances": [["a0", 1], ["a1", 6]], "unrealized_gain": -497} | {"balances": [["a0", 1], ["a1", 9]], "unrealized_gain": -494} | Failed |
