49. Companies can gain from the increase in the value of their investment. Even without receiving dividends, investors still benefit when companies
reinvest earnings, leading to even more profits in the future, and eventually higher stock prices. Many companies also make investments for strategic
purposes to develop closer business ties, increase market share, or expand into new industries.
50. The two categories are trading securities and available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value, and resulting holding gains
and losses are included in the determination of net income for the period. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, and resulting holding
gains and losses are not included in the determination of net income for the period. Rather, they are reported as part of other comprehensive income.
51. The equity method is used when an investor can't control, but can "significantly influence" the investee. For example, if effective control is
absent, the investor still might be able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee if the investor owns a
large percentage of the outstanding shares relative to other shareholders. By voting those shares as a block, the investor often can sway decisions in
the direction desired. We presume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that the investor exercises significant influence over the investee when
it owns between 20% and 50% of the investee's voting shares.
The investor should account for dividends from the investee as a reduction in the Investments account. Since investment revenue is recognized as the
investee earns it, it would be inappropriate to recognize revenue again when earnings are distributed as dividends.
52. Consolidated financial statements combine the parent's and subsidiary's operating activities as if the two companies were a single reporting
company, even though both companies continue to operate as separate legal entities.
It is appropriate to consolidate financial statements of two companies when the parent company owns a controlling interest (more than 50%) in the
voting stock of the subsidiary.
53. Investments in debt securities are classified as "held-to-maturity," "trading," or "available-for-sale" securities. Held-to-maturity securities are
debt securities that the company expects to hold until they mature, which means until they become payable. Trading securities are securities that
the investor expects to sell in the near future. These investments are adjusted to fair value with the unrealized gain or loss included in net income.
Available-for-sale securities are investments that do not fit the other two categories; they are not expected to be sold in the near future, yet they are
not expected to be held to maturity either. These investments are adjusted to fair value with the unrealized gain or loss included in comprehensive
income.
54. Consolidation method :: Used when an investor has controlling influence. and Held-to-maturity securities :: This category is not used for equity

Equity method :: Used when an investor has significant, but not controlling influence. and Trading securities :: Used when an investor expects to
sell in the near future.
55. Held-to-maturity securities :: This category is used only for debt securities. and Equity method :: An investor owns 40% of the common voting
shares in the company and can exercise significant influence. and Available-for-sale securities :: Common stock not held for immediate resale

company. and Trading securities :: Common stock held for immediate resale.
