    It would decrease the net assets by $60,800

    Explanation:

    The computation of the translation adjustment for 2017 is shown below:

    For common stock

    = Issued amount * (revised exchange rate - exchange rate)

    = $1,000,000 * (0.42 - 0.48)

    = - $60,000

    For dividend

    = Dividend paid * (revised exchange rate - exchange rate)

    = $20,000 * (0.42 - 0.46)

    = - $800

    For net income

    = Net income * (revised exchange rate - exchange rate)

    = $80,000 * (0.42 - 0.42)

    = $0

    So, it would decrease the net assets by $60,800 ($60,000 + $800)
