问题如下:
5. Based on Ohalin’s estimates, the amount of joint venture shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2010 included on the consolidated financial statements of each venturer will most likely be:
选项:
A.higher for BetterCare.
B.higher for Supreme Healthcare.
C.the same for both BetterCare and Supreme Healthcare.
解释:
C is correct.
The choice of equity method or proportionate consolidation does not affect reported shareholders’ equity.
考点:不同的合并方法下equity的对比
解析:计量 JV既可以用equity method, 也可以用proportionate consolidation 。所以这道题其实是在对比equity method和proportionate consolidation的equity。
在这两种方法下,equity是一样的,即都是归属于母公司的equity。
不太懂Equity method,投资的话,减少cash, 增加 一项Investment,都是在资产端的变动,对本题中问的 shareholders’ Equity 有什么影响?
