E EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
vs vs vs vs vs vs




Chapter Outline vs




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


ng with a fair value option.
vs vs vs vs vs




A. Fair value method: applied by an investor when only a small percentage o
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


f a company‘s voting stock is held.
vs vs vs vs vs vs




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




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


is reported at cost.
s vs vs vs




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


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


d the investment provides neither significant influence nor control, the investment
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


may be measured at cost. The investment remains at cost unless
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs




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




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

me issuer. vs




The investor typically recognizes its share of investee dividends declared as dividen
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


d income.
vs




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


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


their financial statements are consolidated and reported for the combined entity.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs




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


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




1. Ability to significantly influence investee is indicated by several factors includi
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ng representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


making, etc. vs




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

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




Current financial reporting standards allow firms to elect to use fair value for any new i
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


nvestment in equity shares including those where the equity method would otherwise a
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


pply. However, the option, once taken, is irrevocable. The investor recognizes both inv
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


estee dividends and changes in fair value over time as income.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs




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




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


he investee company.
vs vs




B. The investor accrues investee income when it is reported in the investee‘s financ
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ial statements.
vs




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


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


paid in the same reporting period.
vs vs vs vs vs




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


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


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


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


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


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


ck purchases, the investor applies the equity method prospectively. The total fa
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ir value at the date significant influence is attained is compared to the investee‘
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


s book value to determine future excess fair value amortizations.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


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


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


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


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


he investee should be shown in the same manner by the investor. The material
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ity of these other investee income elements (as it affects the investor) continue
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


s to be a criterion for separate disclosure.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


C. Investee losses vs


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


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


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


3. Investee losses can possibly reduce the carrying value of the investment accou
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


nt to a zero balance. At that point, the equity method ceases to be applicable a
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


nd the fair-value method is subsequently used.
vs vs vs vs vs vs


D. Reporting the sale of an equity investmentvs vs vs vs vs vs


1. The investor applies the equity method until the disposal date to establish a pro
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


per book value. vs vs


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


es are still held to maintain the investor‘s ability to significantly influence the inv
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


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

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


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


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


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


B. Payments made in excess of underlying book value can sometimes be identified w
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ith specific investee accounts such as inventory or equipment.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


C. An extra acquisition price can also be assigned to anticipated benefits that are ex
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


pected to be derived from the investment. In accounting, these amounts are presu
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


med to reflect an intangible asset referred to as goodwill. Goodwill is calculated as
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs v


any excess payment that is not attributable to specific identifiable assets and liabil
s vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ities of the investee. Because goodwill is an indefinite-
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


lived asset, it is not amortized. vs vs vs vs vs




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


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


entity profits in ending inventory are not recognized until the transferred goods are e
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ither consumed or until they are resold to unrelated parties.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


B. Downstream sales of inventory vs vs vs


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


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


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


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


ge multiplied by the markup on the merchandise remaining at the end of the
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


year.
C. Upstream sales of inventory vs vs vs


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


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


entity gross profits is identical for upstream and downstream transfers. The pro
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


cedures are separately identified in Chapter One because the handling does va
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ry within the consolidation process. vs vs vs vs




Answers to Discussion Questions vs vs vs




The textbook includes discussion questions to stimulate student thought and discussion. Thes
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


e questions are also designed to allow students to consider relevant issues that might otherwis
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


e be overlooked. Some of these questions may be addressed by the instructor in class to moti
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


vate student discussion. Students should be encouraged to begin by defining the issue(s) in e
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ach case. Next, authoritative accounting literature (FASB ASC) or other relevant literature can
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


be consulted as a preliminary step in arriving at logical actions. Frequently, the FASB Accounti
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


ng Standards Codification will provide the necessary support.
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs




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


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


he past so that accounting education is only a matter of learning to apply historically prescribe
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


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


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


students should be directed to list all of the issues involved and the consequences of possible
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs v


salternative actions. The various factors presented can be weighed to produce a viable solution
vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs vs


.

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


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