CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the reasons corporations invest in stocks and debt securities. Corporations
invest for three common reasons: (a) They have excess cash. (b) They view investment
income as a significant revenue source. (c) They have strategic goals such as gaining
control of a competitor or supplier or moving into a new line of business.
2. Explain the accounting for debt investments. Entries for investments in debt securities
are required when companies purchase bonds, receive or accrue interest, and sell bonds.
3. Explain the accounting for stock investments. Entries for investments in common stock
are required when companies purchase stock, receive dividends, and sell stock. When
ownership is less than 20%, the cost method is usedthe investment is recorded at cost.
When ownership is between 20% and 50%, the equity method should be usedthe investor
records its share of the net income of the investee in the year it is earned. When ownership
is more than 50%, consolidated financial statements should be prepared.
4. Describe the purpose and usefulness of consolidated financial statements. When a
company owns more than 50% of the common stock of another company, consolidated
financial statements are usually prepared. These statements are especially useful to the
stockholders, board of directors, and management of the parent company.
5. Indicate how debt and stock investments are valued and reported in the financial
statements. Investments in debt and stock securities are classified as trading, available-for-
sale, or held-to-maturity for valuation and reporting purposes. Trading securities are reported
as current assets at fair value, with changes from cost reported in net income. Available-for-
sale securities are also reported at fair value, with the changes from cost reported in
stockholders' equity. Available-for-sale securities are classified as short-term or long-term
depending on their expected realization.

E-4
6. Distinguish between short-term and long-term investments. Short-term investments are
securities held by a company that are readily marketable and intended to be converted to
cash within the next year or operating cycle, whichever is longer. Investments that do not
meet both criteria are classified as long-term investments.

4. The purchase of a company that is in the same industry, but involved in a different activity,

5. When investing excess cash for short periods of time, corporations invest in debt securities
and stock securities.
6. In accordance with the historical cost principle, brokerage fees should be added to the cost
of an investment.
7. In accordance with the historical cost principle, the cost of debt investments includes
brokerage fees and accrued interest.
8. The accounting for short-term debt investments and for long-term debt investments is
similar.

value of the bonds is recorded as a gain or loss.
page-pf5
Reporting and Analyzing Investments
E-5
10. Debt investments are investments in government and corporation bonds.
11. Dividends received on stock investments of less than 20% should be credited to the Stock
Investments account.
12. Dividends received on investments are accounted for in the same way under the cost and
the equity method.
13. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, an investor owning 25% of the stock of an
investee is assumed to have significant influence.
14. If the cost method is used to account for an investment in stock, the Stock Investments
account is increased by the amount of dividends received during the period.
15. Under the equity method the investor records a proportionate share of the investee’s
income in the year when it is earned.
16. When the cost method is used to account for an investment in stock, dividends received
are accounted for as a reduction in the investment account.
17. Using the cost method of accounting for a stock investment, the journal entry to record the
receipt of dividends involves a credit to Dividend Revenue.
18. If an investor owns between 20% and 50% of an investee's common stock, it is presumed
that the investor has significant influence on the investee.
19. The Stock Investments account is debited at acquisition under both the equity method and
cost method of accounting for investments in common stock.
20. Under the equity method, the investment in common stock is initially recorded at cost, and
the Stock Investments account is adjusted annually.
page-pf6
Test Bank for Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making, Fifth Edition
E-6
21. Under the equity method, the receipt of dividends from the investee company results in an
increase in the Stock Investments account.
22. Under the equity method, the receipt of dividends from the investee company results in a
credit to the Dividend Revenue account.
23. In accounting for stock investments of less than 20%, the equity method is typically used.
24. Consolidated financial statements are prepared in place of the financial statements for the
parent and subsidiary companies.
25. Consolidated financial statements should be prepared only when a subsidiary company
has a controlling interest in the parent company.
26. Consolidated financial statements are appropriate when an investor controls an investee
by ownership of more than 50% of the investee's common stock.
27. If the fair value of an available-for-sale security exceeds its cost, the security should be
written up to fair value and a realized gain should be recognized.
28. The Fair Value Adjustment account can only have a credit balance or a zero balance.
29. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized on trading securities.
30. Trading securities are valued on the balance sheet at market value.
31. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported on the income
statement.
32. The valuation of available-for-sale securities is similar to the procedures followed for
trading securities, except that changes in fair value are not recognized in current income.
page-pf7
Reporting and Analyzing Investments
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
E-7
33. An unrealized gain or loss on trading securities is reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
34. For available-for-sale securities, the unrealized gain or loss account is carried forward to
future periods.
35. The account Fair Value Adjustment-Trading appears as a contra account in the income
statement.
36. A decline in the fair value of a trading security is recorded by debiting an unrealized loss
account and crediting the Fair Value Adjustment account.
37. To be classified as a short-term investment, the investment must be readily marketable
and intended to be converted into cash within the next year or operating cycle.
38. An investment in short-term equity securities should be charged to a nominal account
since the investment is temporary.
39. An investment is readily marketable if it is management's intent to sell the investment.
40. Stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange are considered readily marketable.
