Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Under the temporal method, non-monetary assets are translated at the historical exchange rate in effect at the date of acquisition. Since machinery, land, and buildings are non-monetary assets and were all purchased on the same date, they would be translated using the exchange rate from June 30, 20X4. The specific total given in the options implies that option B, $1,735,730, is the correct translation using the historical rate for those assets.
