CHAPTER 1 t4




THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




Chapter Outlinet4




I. Four methods are principally used to account for an investment in equity securities
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 along with a fair value option.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




A. Fair value method: applied by an investor when only a small percentage
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




of a company‘s voting stock is held.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




1. The investor recognizes income when the investee declares a dividend.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




2. Portfolios are reported at fair value. If fair values are unavailable,
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 investment is reported at cost. t4 t4 t4 t4




B. Cost Method: applied to investments without a readily determinable fair value.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 When the fair value of an investment in equity securities is not readily
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




determinable, and the investment provides neither significant influence nor
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 control, the investment may be measured at cost. The investment remains at
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 cost unless t4




1. A demonstrable impairment occurs for the investment, or
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




2. An observable price change occurs for identical or similar investments of the
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 same issuer. t4




The investor typically recognizes its share of investee dividends declared as
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




dividend income.
t4 t4




C. Consolidation: when one firm controls another (e.g., when a parent has a t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 majority interest in the voting stock of a subsidiary or control through
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



2-1

, variable interests, their financial statements are consolidated and reported
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 for the combined entity.
t4 t4 t4




D. Equity method: applied when the investor has the ability to exercise
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




1. Ability to significantly influence investee is indicated by several factors
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4including representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



making, etc. t4




2. GAAP guidelines presume the equity method is applicable if 20 to 50 percent of the
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




2-1

, outstanding voting stock of the investee is held by the investor.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




Current financial reporting standards allow firms to elect to use fair value for any
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 new investment in equity shares including those where the equity method would
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




otherwise apply. However, the option, once taken, is irrevocable. The investor
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 recognizes both investee dividends and changes in fair value over time as income.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




II. Accounting for an investment: the equity method
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




A. The investor adjusts the investment account to reflect all changes in the equity
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




of the investee company.
t4 t4 t4 t4




B. The investor accrues investee income when it is reported in the investee‘s
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




financial statements.
t4 t4




C. Dividends declared by the investee create a reduction in the carrying amount of
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 the Investment account. This book assumes all investee dividends are declared
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




and paid in the same reporting period.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




III. Special accounting procedures used in the application of the equity method
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




A. Reporting a change to the equity method when the ability to significantly
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




influence an investee is achieved through a series of acquisitions.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




1. Initial purchase(s) will be accounted for by means of the fair value method
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



(or at cost) until the ability to significantly influence is attained.
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




2. When the ability to exercise significant influence occurs following a series of
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 stock purchases, the investor applies the equity method prospectively. The
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 total fair value at the date significant influence is attained is compared to
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 the investee‘s book value to determine future excess fair value
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 amortizations.
B. Investee income from other than continuing operations
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




1. The investor recognizes its share of investee reported other
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4




t4 comprehensive income (OCI) through the investment account and the t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4



t4 investor‘s own OCI. t4 t4




2. Income items such as discontinued operations that are reported separately
t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4 t4
