以下是引用Dong86在2011-5-9 5:19:00的发言:
investment in associate is different from investment income (aka investment revenue)
investment in associate is a B/S item, whereas investment income goes through I/S
我的理解是investment in associate在这里是指“投资者具有significant influence”,这条信息是说要用equity method。而一般情况,如果题目指的是B/S里的科目,会用investment in某某公司或equity account,在I/S会用investment income或equity income。所以我认为题目的意思是在不用equity method时,interest coverage ratio有何影响。也就是说不用equity method时,NI会由于缺少investment income而减少,从而导致EBIT下降。【然而答案却是same,所以我觉得你的理解应该是对的,可是书上这样写会不会太不严谨了?】 |
