Ex. 13–12(Concluded)

c.Under the equity method, the investor will record their proportionate share of net increase (or decrease) of the book value of the investee resulting from earnings and dividend distributions. The fair value method uses market price information to value the investment in the investee. These two methods result in different valuations because the equity method is based upon book
accounting, while the fair value approach uses market information. The two methods need not be related to each other over time. While changes in book value can influence market prices, many other variables can influence the market price of a stock.

Ex. 13–13

(in millions)

Investment in Moss Company stock, December 31, 2012...... $105

Plus equity earnings in Moss Company...... 15

Less dividends received...... (4)*

Investment in Moss Company stock, December 31, 2013...... $116

*The Moss Company investment is accounted for under the equity method. Since there were no purchases or sales of Moss Company stock, a dividend must have been received. This would explain how the ending balance of the investment
account went from $105 to $116, with $15 million in equity earnings. Since the investment is accounted for under the equity method, the fair value is not used for valuation purposes.

b.The unrealized gain or unrealized loss for trading investments is disclosed in the income statement as “other income” (or a separate item if significant). Unrealized losses would be deducted in determining net income, while un-realized gains would be added in determining net income.

b.There would be no adjusting entry for December 31, 2013, if the market prices remained unchanged from December 31, 2012. This is because the unrealized gain from the difference between the cost and market has already been
recognized on December 31, 2012. Only changes in market prices would be recognized subsequent to December 31, 2012.

*(900 shares × $42 per share) + $125

b.Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are accumulated over time and reported as a credit (positive) or debit (negative) balance in the Stockholders’ Equity section. As a result, the changes in fair value are not reflected on the income statement, as is the case with trading securities.
Bypassing the income statement is supported on the grounds that available-for-sale securities will be held for a longer time than trading securities; thus, fluctuations in market prices have a greater opportunity to “cancel out” over time.

2009: Dividend Yield = $0.52/$30.48 = 1.71%

b.Dividends per share increased from $0.46 in 2008 to $0.52 in 2009. In addition, the dividend yield declined from 2.37% in 2008 to 1.71% in 2009. The decrease in the dividend yield is a result of a slight increase in the dividend per share of $0.06 ($0.46 – $0.52) combined with a significant increase in the closing stock price of $11.08 per share ($30.48 – $19.40). Microsoft thus provides a small return to the shareholder in terms of a dividend yield and an additional return in terms of price appreciation of the stock.
