E EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




Chapter Outline
Ri




I. Four methods are principally used to account for an investment in equity securities alo
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ng with a fair value option.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




A. Fair value method: applied by an investor when only a small percentage of
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


a company‘s voting stock is held.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




1. The investor recognizes income when the investee declares a dividend.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




2. Portfolios are reported at fair value. If fair values are unavailable, investment
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


is reported at cost. Ri Ri Ri




B. Cost Method: applied to investments without a readily determinable fair value. Whe
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


n the fair value of an investment in equity securities is not readily determinable, and
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


the investment provides neither significant influence nor control, the investment ma
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


y be measured at cost. The investment remains at cost unless
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




1. A demonstrable impairment occurs for the investment, or
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




2. An observable price change occurs for identical or similar investments of the sa
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


me issuer. Ri




The investor typically recognizes its share of investee dividends declared as dividend
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


income.
Ri




C. Consolidation: when one firm controls another (e.g., when a parent has a majorit
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


y interest in the voting stock of a subsidiary or control through variable interests, t
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


heir financial statements are consolidated and reported for the combined entity.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




D. Equity method: applied when the investor has the ability to exercise significa
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


nt influence over operating and financial policies of the investee.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




1. Ability to significantly influence investee is indicated by several factors includin
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


g representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making, etc.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




2. GAAP guidelines presume the equity method is applicable if 20 to 50 percent of the
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri

ll LLC.

, outstanding voting stock of the investee is held by the investor.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




Current financial reporting standards allow firms to elect to use fair value for any new in
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


vestment in equity shares including those where the equity method would otherwise app
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ly. However, the option, once taken, is irrevocable. The investor recognizes both invest
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ee dividends and changes in fair value over time as income.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




II. Accounting for an investment: the equity method
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




A. The investor adjusts the investment account to reflect all changes in the equity of t
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


he investee company.
Ri Ri




B. The investor accrues investee income when it is reported in the investee‘s financi
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


al statements.
Ri




C. Dividends declared by the investee create a reduction in the carrying amount of th
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


e Investment account. This book assumes all investee dividends are declared and
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


paid in the same reporting period.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




III. Special accounting procedures used in the application of the equity method
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


A. Reporting a change to the equity method when the ability to significantly influence
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


an investee is achieved through a series of acquisitions.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


1. Initial purchase(s) will be accounted for by means of the fair value method (or
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


at cost) until the ability to significantly influence is attained.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


2. When the ability to exercise significant influence occurs following a series of sto
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ck purchases, the investor applies the equity method prospectively. The total fai
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


r value at the date significant influence is attained is compared to the investee‘s
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


book value to determine future excess fair value amortizations.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


B. Investee income from other than continuing operations
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


1. The investor recognizes its share of investee reported other comprehensiv
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


e income (OCI) through the investment account and the investor‘s own O
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


CI.
2. Income items such as discontinued operations that are reported separately by t
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


he investee should be shown in the same manner by the investor. The materiali
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ty of these other investee income elements (as it affects the investor) continues
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


to be a criterion for separate disclosure.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


C. Investee losses Ri


1. Losses reported by the investee create corresponding losses for the investor.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


2. A permanent decline in the fair value of an investee‘s stock should be recogniz
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ed immediately by the investor as an impairment loss.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


3. Investee losses can possibly reduce the carrying value of the investment accoun
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


t to a zero balance. At that point, the equity method ceases to be applicable and
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


the fair-value method is subsequently used.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


D. Reporting the sale of an equity investment Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


1. The investor applies the equity method until the disposal date to establish a prop
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


er book value. Ri Ri


2. Following the sale, the equity method continues to be appropriate if enough shar
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


es are still held to maintain the investor‘s ability to significantly influence the inve
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


stee. If that ability has been lost, the fair-value method is subsequently used.

IV. Excess investment cost over book value acquired
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


A. The price an investor pays for equity securities often differs significantly from t
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


he investee‘s underlying book value primarily because the historical cost base
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


d accounting model does not keep track of changes in a firm‘s fair value.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


B. Payments made in excess of underlying book value can sometimes be identified wi
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


th specific investee accounts such as inventory or equipment.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


C. An extra acquisition price can also be assigned to anticipated benefits that are exp
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ected to be derived from the investment. In accounting, these amounts are presum
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ed to reflect an intangible asset referred to as goodwill. Goodwill is calculated as a
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ny excess payment that is not attributable to specific identifiable assets and liabiliti
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


es of the investee. Because goodwill is an indefinite-lived asset, it is not amortized.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




V. Deferral of intra-entity gross profit in inventory
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


A. The investor‘s share of intra- Ri Ri Ri Ri


entity profits in ending inventory are not recognized until the transferred goods are ei
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ther consumed or until they are resold to unrelated parties.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


B. Downstream sales of inventory Ri Ri Ri


1. ―Downstream‖ refers to transfers made by the investor to the investee. Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


2. Intra-
entity gross profits from sales are initially deferred under the equity method an
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


d then recognized as income at the time of the inventory‘s eventual disposal.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


3. The amount of gross profit to be deferred is the investor‘s ownership percenta
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ge multiplied by the markup on the merchandise remaining at the end of the y
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ear.
C. Upstream sales of inventory Ri Ri Ri


1. ―Upstream‖ refers to transfers made by the investee to the investor. Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


2. Under the equity method, the deferral process for intra- Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


entity gross profits is identical for upstream and downstream transfers. The proc
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


edures are separately identified in Chapter One because the handling does vary
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


within the consolidation process.

Answers to Discussion Questions Ri Ri Ri




The textbook includes discussion questions to stimulate student thought and discussion. These
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


questions are also designed to allow students to consider relevant issues that might otherwise
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri R


be overlooked. Some of these questions may be addressed by the instructor in class to motiva
i Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


te student discussion. Students should be encouraged to begin by defining the issue(s) in each
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


case. Next, authoritative accounting literature (FASB ASC) or other relevant literature can be c
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


onsulted as a preliminary step in arriving at logical actions. Frequently, the FASB Accounting S
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


tandards Codification will provide the necessary support.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




Unfortunately, in accounting, definitive resolutions to financial reporting questions are not alway
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


s available. Students often seem to believe that all accounting issues have been resolved in th
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


e past so that accounting education is only a matter of learning to apply historically prescribed
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


procedures. However, in actual practice, the only real answer is often the one that provides the
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


fairest representation of the firm‘s transactions. If an authoritative solution is not available, stu
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


dents should be directed to list all of the issues involved and the consequences of possible alt
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


ernative actions. The various factors presented can be weighed to produce a viable solution.
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri




The discussion questions are designed to help students develop research and critical thinking s
Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri Ri


kills in addressing issues that go beyond the purely mechanical elements of accounting.
