recording FV of AFS, HTM, HFT, investment in associate investment, recording, include, about, given

mkytz15

if we are given
HTM: amoritized cost of 100
HFT: FV of 100
AFS: FV of 100
Equity investment in A: FV 200

on the B/S, normally we have 100+100+100 for HTM, HFT and AFS.

what about the Equity investment of 200? do we include that as well?

This looks correct and logical, almost treating equity investment as HfT.
Was this in the book?

Under cost method 200 is recorded under non-current assets in BS.

If it is recorded at fair value

* Initially added to BS at fair value. No goodwill is created. For example purchased for 200 and fair value of asset at the time of investing is 180, 20 writes off to IS ( do not recognize 20 goodwill)

*Dividend goes to IS.

* No proportionate income is recognized /added to investment value.

* Instead, subsequent fair value, say market value, changes are recognized in IS, just like HFT.

* Hence, no impairment.

IS = Income statement, BS= Balance sheet

Hope this may help.

I think so. Equity investment is recorded at initial cost + % of earnings from investee - all dividends received. But what I don't understand is that it says since 2007, equity may be recorded at fair value. That would be completely different.
