Answer:

d. Been denominated in U.S. dollars.

Explanation:

If Mild's 20X4 operating income included no foreign exchange transaction gain or loss, then the transaction could have been denominated in U.S dollars.

Furthermore, if it was denominated in U.S. dollars, there is no foreign exchange gain or loss for Mild.

Hence, there would be a gain or loss for Grund.

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

Since the monetary mode of operation is in dollars and foreign exchange gains and losses are naturally included in order to calculate the net income which is determined by rise and fall of exchange rate.
