考点:不同的合并方法下equity的对比
解析:题干说T公司要用JV,这种方法下,既可以用equity method, 也可以用proportionate consolidation, 所以这道题其实是在考你,对比equity method和proportionate consolidation的equity, 在这2种方法下,equity是一样的,即都是母公司本身的equity。
老师您好,首先我知道equity method中的E部分就是母公司的E,也记得课里面讲过proportionate consolidation只是按收购的百分比来合并A和L。但是回想一下,我发现我不理解之处在于为什么按百分比合并A和L会没有MI。A子=L子+E子。如果合并50%的A子和L子在母公司报表上,新的A=A母+50%A子,新的L=L母+50%L子,那母公司报表的A与L+E就是不平的了啊。不知道我是否表述清楚了我的问题,烦请老师帮忙指点,谢谢。
