E EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




Chapter Outline Wi




I. Four methods are principally used to account for an investment in equity securities a
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


long with a fair value option.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




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


of a company‘s voting stock is held.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




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




2. Portfolios are reported at fair value. If fair values are unavailable, investme
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


nt is reported at cost.
Wi Wi Wi Wi




B. Cost Method: applied to investments without a readily determinable fair value. W
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


hen the fair value of an investment in equity securities is not readily determinable
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


, and the investment provides neither significant influence nor control, the invest
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ment may be measured at cost. The investment remains at cost unless
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




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




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


ame issuer. Wi




The investor typically recognizes its share of investee dividends declared as divide
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


nd income.Wi




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


rity interest in the voting stock of a subsidiary or control through variable intere
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


sts, their financial statements are consolidated and reported for the combined e
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ntity.

D. Equity method: applied when the investor has the ability to exercise signifi
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


cant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




1. Ability to significantly influence investee is indicated by several factors includ
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ing representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


making, etc. Wi




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

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




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


investment in equity shares including those where the equity method would otherwise
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


apply. However, the option, once taken, is irrevocable. The investor recognizes both
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


investee dividends and changes in fair value over time as income.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




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




A. The investor adjusts the investment account to reflect all changes in the equity o
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


f the investee company.
Wi Wi Wi




B. The investor accrues investee income when it is reported in the investee‘s fina
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ncial statements. Wi




C. Dividends declared by the investee create a reduction in the carrying amount of t
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


he Investment account. This book assumes all investee dividends are declared a
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


nd paid in the same reporting period.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




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


A. Reporting a change to the equity method when the ability to significantly influenc
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


e an investee is achieved through a series of acquisitions.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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


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


2. When the ability to exercise significant influence occurs following a series of s
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


tock purchases, the investor applies the equity method prospectively. The tota
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


l fair value at the date significant influence is attained is compared to the inv
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


estee‘s book value to determine future excess fair value amortizations.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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


1. The investor recognizes its share of investee reported other comprehens
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ive income (OCI) through the investment account and the investor‘s ow
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


n OCI. Wi


2. Income items such as discontinued operations that are reported separately by
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


the investee should be shown in the same manner by the investor. The mat
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


eriality of these other investee income elements (as it affects the investor) con
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


tinues to be a criterion for separate disclosure.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


C. Investee losses Wi


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


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


ized immediately by the investor as an impairment loss.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


3. Investee losses can possibly reduce the carrying value of the investment acco
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


unt to a zero balance. At that point, the equity method ceases to be applicabl
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


e and the fair-value method is subsequently used.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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


1. The investor applies the equity method until the disposal date to establish a pr
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


oper book value. Wi Wi


2. Following the sale, the equity method continues to be appropriate if enough sh
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ares are still held to maintain the investor‘s ability to significantly influence the
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


investee. If that ability has been lost, the fair-
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


value method is subsequently used. Wi Wi Wi Wi

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


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


the investee‘s underlying book value primarily because the historical cost b
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ased accounting model does not keep track of changes in a firm‘s fair value
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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


with specific investee accounts such as inventory or equipment.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


C. An extra acquisition price can also be assigned to anticipated benefits that are e
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


xpected to be derived from the investment. In accounting, these amounts are pr
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


esumed to reflect an intangible asset referred to as goodwill. Goodwill is calculat
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ed as any excess payment that is not attributable to specific identifiable assets a
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


nd liabilities of the investee. Because goodwill is an indefinite-
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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




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


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


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


either consumed or until they are resold to unrelated parties.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


B. Downstream sales of inventory Wi Wi Wi


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


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


and then recognized as income at the time of the inventory‘s eventual dispo
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


sal.
3. The amount of gross profit to be deferred is the investor‘s ownership percent
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


age multiplied by the markup on the merchandise remaining at the end of th
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


e year. Wi


C. Upstream sales of inventory Wi Wi Wi


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


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


entity gross profits is identical for upstream and downstream transfers. The pr
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ocedures are separately identified in Chapter One because the handling does
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


vary within the consolidation process. Wi Wi Wi Wi




Answers to Discussion Questions Wi Wi Wi




The textbook includes discussion questions to stimulate student thought and discussion. The
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


se questions are also designed to allow students to consider relevant issues that might other
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


wise be overlooked. Some of these questions may be addressed by the instructor in class t
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


o motivate student discussion. Students should be encouraged to begin by defining the issu
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


e(s) in each case. Next, authoritative accounting literature (FASB ASC) or other relevant liter
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ature can be consulted as a preliminary step in arriving at logical actions. Frequently, the FA
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


SB Accounting Standards Codification will provide the necessary support.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




Unfortunately, in accounting, definitive resolutions to financial reporting questions are not alwa
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ys available. Students often seem to believe that all accounting issues have been resolved i
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


n the past so that accounting education is only a matter of learning to apply historically pres
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


cribed procedures. However, in actual practice, the only real answer is often the one that pr
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


ovides the fairest representation of the firm‘s transactions. If an authoritative solution is not a
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


vailable, students should be directed to list all of the issues involved and the consequences
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


of possible alternative actions. The various factors presented can be weighed to produce a v
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


iable solution.
