A. Discuss the similarities of accounting for available-for-sale and trading securities portfolios. B. Discuss the differences encountered in accounting for available-for-sale and trading securities portfolios. Answers will vary Feedback: A. The similarities of accounting for available-for-sale and trading securities portfolios include the fact that both investments are accounted for using the market value method because neither control nor significant influence is demonstrated. That is, the investments are typically less than 20% of the investee's voting stock. Both categories report the investments on the balance sheet at the current market value. Both types of investments could be included in the current asset section. Bond investments that are not held-to-maturity will follow the rules outlined above. B. The differences encountered in accounting for available-for-sale and trading securities portfolios are as follows:--Trading securities are always classified as current assets. Available-for-sale securities are classified as current assets only if management intends to sell them within a year of the balance sheet date. Otherwise, they are reported under the long-term investment section (noncurrent) under assets on the balance sheet.--Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported on the income statement for trading securities. The unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of stockholders' equity on the balance sheet. They are not an element in computing net income on the income statement. When trading securities are sold, the gain or loss is determined by comparing the market value at the end of the previous accounting period to the sales price. Therefore, only an "incremental" gain or loss is reported on the income statement in the year of the sale. In contrast, the gain or loss to be reported on the sale of available-for-sale securities is accomplished by comparing the historical cost (acquisition amount) of the investment to the sales price. That is, the total gain or loss experienced during the entire holding period for the investment is reported on the income statement in the year of the sale. Any unrealized holding gain or loss previously included in the stockholders' equity section is removed from the accounts.

A. Discuss the criteria for applying the equity method of accounting for long-term investments. B. Discuss the rationale for the equity method procedures of accounting for long-term investments. Answers will vary Feedback: A. The criteria for applying the equity method of accounting for long-term investments are based on the ownership level of the investor in the voting stock of the investee. The presumption is that if the investor owns at least 20% of the investee's voting stock but not more than 50% of such stock, the investor has significant influence over the investee. This means that the investor has an important impact on the operating and financing policies of the investee. Significant influence is typically achieved by the investor being on the investee's board of directors, management personnel is interchanged between the two companies, and other such evidence of influence. B. The rational for the equity method of accounting is rather like an "accrual" system. That is, the relationship of the investee and investor is typically expected to be a long-term association. As such, the investor recognizes income on an accrual rather than a cash basis. The proportionate share of income in the investee is recognized on the income statement and the investment (asset) account is increased. When actual dividends are received by the investor, they reduce the investment account since some of the previously recognized income is being distributed.

Discuss how the equity method prevents managers of the investor corporation from manipulating income related to dividends from the investee. Answers will vary Feedback: When one corporation exerts significant influence over another (such influence results from ownership of 20 to 50 percent of the common shares), it is unreasonable to assume that transactions between those corporations are made at "arm's length" as assumed in financial accounting. Without the equity method, managers of the investor company could manipulate income by influencing the investee's dividend policy. Large dividend payments could be used to bolster income in bad years. The equity method prevents this type of manipulation by requiring dividends received to be offset against the investment account rather than recognized as income.
