Schweser QBank Inter-Corp Investment Q
Acme Corporation purchases a 3% interest in Bandy Company to become the single largest shareholder of Bandy. Acme will hold a seat on the Board of Directors of Bandy. Acme will account for its investment in Bandy using the:
A) lower of cost or market method.
B) equity method.
C) acquisition method.
Your answer: C was incorrect. The correct answer was B) equity method.
Even though Acme’s interest is low at only 3%, they have significant influence by having a seat on Bandy’s Board of Directors. As such, they must use the equity method.
I think it should be acquisition method since it have influence to the company? |
