Can you avoid capital gains tax with a like kind exchange?
Not avoid...delay. At whatever point the property(s) you do a successful Section 1031 exchange is sold without an exchange, the gains will essentially be claculated from all the properties. Your basis in the "new" property you exchnage into is the same as the one you exchanged out of.....hence if the values are the same...the gain is still there on sale. S -1031 and Like Kinf Exchanges (LKE) are really very technical and filled with requirements...make sure you have professionals involved. On the deal side, they are also rather hard to put together.
Should unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses be reversed in the following year?
Yes, unrealised gain/ (loss) should be reversed in the following year to bring the balances to original/ historical amounts. Subsequently, at the time of settlement of a liability/ collection of a receivable, the actual/ realised gain/ (loss) is booked in the year in which it incurred. When you track unrealized gains and losses, you make an entry for the current month, then reverse the entry you made in the previous month. It's important that you remember to reverse the previous month's entry; if you don't, gain and loss amounts for future months will be inaccurate.

How would the exchange rate policies influence a firms attitude toward international trade and operations?
Exchange rates are a very important part of what is referred to as "comprehensive income." Firms are required to recognize exchange rate gains and losses in their financial statements both under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. In firms that do business in the multi-national arena, these gains and losses can have a significant on cash flow; perhaps more importantly, these gains and losses suggest how well a firm manages its foreign contracts, and how well it understands the economies in which it operates. As a practical matter, exchange rates impact the Cost of Goods Sold of a firm. Assume for the sake of argument that a firm enters into a long term contract to buy raw materials from a foreign supplier at a fixed price; now assume that the value of the dollar erodes relative to the foreign currency by 10%. The net result is an erosion of the economic value of the contract of 10%.
