Classify a debt security as held-to-maturity only if it has both

(1) the positive intent and

(2) the ability to hold securities to maturity.

Accounted for at amortized cost, not fair value.

Amortize premium or discount using the effective-interest method unless the straight-line method yields a similar result.

LO 2 Understand the procedures for discount and premium amortization on bond investments.

Holdings Between 20% and 50%Holdings Between 20% and 50%Holdings Between 20% and 50%Holdings Between 20% and 50%

An investment (direct or indirect) of 20 percent or

more of the voting stock of an investee should lead

to a presumption that in the absence of evidence to

the contrary, an investor has the ability to exercise

significant influence over an investee.

In instances of “significant influence,” the investor

must account for the investment using the equity

method.

LO 4 Explain the equity method of accounting and compare it to the fair value method for equity securities.

Equity Method

LO 4 Explain the equity method of accounting and compare it to the fair value method for equity securities.

Record the investment at cost and subsequently adjust the amount each period for

the investor’s proportionate share of the earnings (losses) and

dividends received by the investor.

If investor’s share of investee’s losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investor ordinarily should discontinue applying the equity method.
