CHAPTER 1 a1




a1 THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




Chapter Outline a1




I. Four methods are principally used to account for an investment in equity securities
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 along with a fair value option.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




A. Fair value method: applied by an investor when only a small percentage
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




of a company‘s voting stock is held.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




1. The investor recognizes income when the investee declares a dividend.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




2. Portfolios are reported at fair value. If fair values are unavailable,
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 investment is reported at cost. a1 a1 a1 a1




B. Cost Method: applied to investments without a readily determinable fair value.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 When the fair value of an investment in equity securities is not readily
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




determinable, and the investment provides neither significant influence nor
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 control, the investment may be measured at cost. The investment remains at
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 cost unless a1




1. A demonstrable impairment occurs for the investment, or
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




2. An observable price change occurs for identical or similar investments of the
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 same issuer. a1




The investor typically recognizes its share of investee dividends declared as
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




dividend income.
a1 a1




C. Consolidation: when one firm controls another (e.g., when a parent has a a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 majority interest in the voting stock of a subsidiary or control through
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



2-1

, variable interests, their financial statements are consolidated and reported for
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 the combined entity.
a1 a1




D. Equity method: applied when the investor has the ability to exercise
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




1. Ability to significantly influence investee is indicated by several factors
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




including representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



making, etc. a1




2. GAAP guidelines presume the equity method is applicable if 20 to 50 percent of the
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




2-1

, outstanding voting stock of the investee is held by the investor.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




Current financial reporting standards allow firms to elect to use fair value for any
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 new investment in equity shares including those where the equity method would
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




otherwise apply. However, the option, once taken, is irrevocable. The investor
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 recognizes both investee dividends and changes in fair value over time as income.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




II. Accounting for an investment: the equity method
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




A. The investor adjusts the investment account to reflect all changes in the equity
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




of the investee company.
a1 a1 a1 a1




B. The investor accrues investee income when it is reported in the investee‘s
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




financial statements.
a1 a1




C. Dividends declared by the investee create a reduction in the carrying amount of
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 the Investment account. This book assumes all investee dividends are declared
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




and paid in the same reporting period.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




III. Special accounting procedures used in the application of the equity method
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




A. Reporting a change to the equity method when the ability to significantly
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




influence an investee is achieved through a series of acquisitions.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




1. Initial purchase(s) will be accounted for by means of the fair value method
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



(or at cost) until the ability to significantly influence is attained.
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




2. When the ability to exercise significant influence occurs following a series of
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 stock purchases, the investor applies the equity method prospectively. The
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 total fair value at the date significant influence is attained is compared to
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 the investee‘s book value to determine future excess fair value
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 amortizations.
B. Investee income from other than continuing operations
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




1. The investor recognizes its share of investee reported other
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1




a1 comprehensive income (OCI) through the investment account and the a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1



a1 investor‘s own OCI. a1 a1




2. Income items such as discontinued operations that are reported separately
a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1 a1
