Schweser wrong? reporting, question, because

IAmNeil

Has any one noticed that schweser says all 3 methods (equity, consolidation and proportionate consolidation) should all yield the same equity value.
However if you look at pg66 of the "Financial reporting and Analysis" CFA Book, and do question 3 as well as q29 on pg74, the answer to q3 goes on to say:
"Cinnamon's shareholders equity on its balance sheet would most likely be highest if deemed to have control of Cambridge" ..... Basically implying that because the consolidation method shareholders equity includes non-controlling interest (which is treated as equity), it yields the highest equity value....

Can anyone add to this???

Cheers
