Accounting for investments in equity instruments

Classification

Investments in equity instruments (such as an investment in the ordinary shares of another entity) are measured at either:

• fair value through profit or loss, or

• fair value through other comprehensive income.

Fair value through profit or loss :- The normal expectation is that equity instruments will have the designation of fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income :- It is possible to designate an equity instrument as fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the following conditions are complied with:

• the equity instrument must not be held for trading, and

• there must have been an irrevocable choice for this designation upon initial recognition of the asset.

Investments in equity instruments that are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. At the reporting date, the asset is revalued to fair value with the gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income. This gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss in future periods.

Journal Entries to be recorded in the present case:-

01.01.2016 Investments in Shares                   2,500,000.00
To Bank                   2,500,000.00
(Being Investment in shares of Anderson Company recorded)
31.12.2016 Investments in Shares                   1,000,000.00
To Other Comprehensive Income                   1,000,000.00
(Being revaluation of Investements in Equity Shares recorded)
31.12.2016 Bank                         150,000.00
To Dividend Income                         150,000.00
(being dividend received on Investments recorded)

The only impact to the PL would be of $ 150,000 which relates to dividend recieved from Investment in Beck.
