考点:不同的合并方法下equity的对比
解析:计量 joint venture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两种方法下的equity。
在这两种方法下,equity是一样的,都是投资公司自己本身的equity。
equity method会计处理是one-line consolidation和share result:
- 资产负债表上减少cash同时增加一项investment;
- 被投资公司的NI按比例share到投资公司的NI中;
- 因此consolidated financial statement中的equity就是投资公司自己本身的equity。
proportionate consolidation会计处理是:
- 按比例合并被投资公司的资产和负债,资产负债表左边会增加被投资公司按比例的net asset,但同时减少相同金额cash(并购价款);
- 按比例合并被投资公司的损益表。consolidated NI包括投资公司自己的NI和被投资公司按比例合并过来的NI。
- proportionate consolidation下的equity也是投资公司自己本身的equity。
以这道题目为例,T-vision和Alfa各自会产生一份consolidated financial report 是这样理解吗?
