1. The IASB requires that investments meeting the business model (held-for-collection) and
contractual cash flow tests be valued at fair value.
2. The IASB requires that companies classify financial assets into two measurement
categories – amortized cost and fair value.
3. Amortized cost is the initial recognition amount of the investment minus cumulative
amortization.
4. Companies measure debt investments at fair value if the objective of the company’s
business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows.
5. The gain on sale of debt investments is the excess of the selling price over the fair value
of the bonds.
6. The Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss–Income account is reported in the other income and
expense section of the income statement.
7. At each reporting date, companies adjust debt investments’ amortized cost to fair value,
with any unrealized holding gain or loss reported as part of their comprehensive income.
8. Over the life of a debt investment, interest revenue and the gain on sale are the same
using either amortized cost or fair value measurement.

9. The fair value option is generally available only at the time a company first purchases the
financial asset or incurs a financial liability.
10. Equity security holdings between 20 and 50 percent indicates that the investor has a

11. The Unrealized Holding Gain/Loss—Equity account is reported as a part of other compre–
hensive income.
12. Non-trading equity investments are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses reported in other comprehensive income.
13. An investment of more than 50 percent of the voting stock of an investee should lead to a
presumption of significant influence over an investee.
14. All dividends received by an investor from the investee decrease the investment’s carrying
value under the equity method.
15. Under the fair value method, the investor reports as revenue its share of the net income
reported by the investee.
16. A controlling interest occurs when one corporation acquires a voting interest of more than
50 percent in another corporation.
17. An impairment loss is the difference between an investment’s cost and the expected
future cash flows.
18. If a company determines that an investment is impaired, it writes down the amortized cost
basis of the individual security to reflect this loss in value.
19. Companies account for transfers between investment classifications retroactively, at the
end of the accounting period after the change in the business model.
20. Transferring an investment from one classification to another should occur only when the
