Chapter 15 Investments
1) Long-term investments are usually held as an investment of cash for use in current operations.
2) Land used in the company's operations is reported as a long-term investment.
3) Short-term investments are also called marketable securities.
4) Equity securities reflect a creditor relationship such as investments in notes, bonds, and certificates of deposit.
5) Cash equivalents are investments that are readily converted to known amounts of cash and mature within three months.
6) Short-term investments are intended to be converted into cash within the longer of one year or the operating cycle of the business, and are readily convertible to cash.
7) Long-term investments include investments in land or other assets not used in a company's operations.
8) Debt securities are recorded at cost when purchased.
9) Debt securities are recorded at cost when purchased, and interest revenue for investments in debt securities is recorded when earned.
10) Any cash dividends received from stock investments with insignificant influence are recorded as Dividend Expense.
11) When a stock investment with insignificant influence is sold, the sale proceeds are compared with the cost, and if the cost is greater than the proceeds, a gain on the sale of the security is recorded.
12) A company received dividends of $0.35 per share on 300 shares of stock it holds as a stock investment with insignificant influence. The journal entry to record this transaction would be to debit Cash for $105 and credit Dividend Revenue for $105.
13) An investor purchased $50,000 of 10-year bonds it intends to hold to maturity. The investor's journal entry to record the purchase is a debit to Debt Investments—HTM for $50,000 and a credit to Cash for $50,000.
14) A company holds $40,000 of 7% bonds as a held-to-maturity security. The journal entry to record receipt of a semiannual interest payment includes a debit to Cash for $2,800 and a credit to Interest Revenue for $2,800.
15) If a company has a controlling influence over another company, the controlling investor is called the parent, and the investee company is called the subsidiary.
16) When an investor company owns between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of an investee company, it has a controlling influence.
17) The consolidation method is used to account for long-term investments in equity securities with controlling influence.
18) When the cost of a short-term held-to-maturity debt security is different from the maturity value, the difference is amortized over the remaining life of the security.
19) Trading debt securities are reported as long-term assets.
20) Comprehensive income refers to all changes in equity during a period except those from owners' investments and dividends.
21) Consolidated financial statements show the financial statements of all entities under the parent's control, including all subsidiaries.
22) When consolidated financial statements are prepared, the parent company uses the equity method and reports the subsidiaries as investment accounts on the balance sheet.
23) Equity securities giving an investor significant influence over an investee are always considered short-term investments.
24) If the exchange rate for Canadian and U.S. dollars is 0.7382 to 1, this implies that 2 Canadian dollars can be purchased for $1.48 U.S. dollars.

26) Foreign exchange rates fluctuate due to many factors including changing political and economic conditions.

35) Trading securities are debt securities a company plans to hold long-term, possibly until maturity.
36) Trading debt securities are always reported as current assets.
37) Unrealized gains and losses on trading debt securities are reported on the income statement.
38) Held-to-maturity securities are equity securities a company intends to hold until dividends have been paid.
39) Investments in held-to-maturity debt securities are always current assets.
40) Accounting for long-term investments in held-to-maturity securities requires companies to record interest revenue as it is earned.
41) If a long-term investment in an equity security gives the investor significant influence over the investee, the investment is always classified as short-term.
42) Long-term investments in debt securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.
43) Management's intent determines whether an available-for-sale security is classified as long-term or short-term.
44) Any unrealized gain or loss for the portfolio of available-for-securities is reported in the equity section of the balance sheet.
45) The account, Fair Value Adjustment—Available-for-Sale, is reported as an adjunct asset on the balance sheet.
46) When individual AFS securities are sold, the difference between the cost of the individual securities sold and the net proceeds (sale price less fees) is recorded as a gain or loss on sale of debt investments.
47) Available-for-sale securities are actively managed like trading securities because the company intends to trade them for profit in the short term.
48) Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value on the balance sheet.

The $5,000 difference in fair value must be reported on Tumbleweed's income statement as a $5,000 unrealized gain.
52) An investor presumed to have significant influence owns between 20% and 50% of another company's voting stock.
53) The cost method of accounting, which does not adjust for changes in fair value, is used to account for long-term investments in equity securities with insignificant influence.
54) When using the equity method for investments in equity securities, the investor records the receipt of cash dividends as revenue.
55) Hamasaki Company owns 30% of CDW Corp. stock and has significant influence. Hamasaki received $6,500 in cash dividends from its investment in CDW. The entry to record receipt of these dividends includes a debit to Cash for $6,500 and a credit to Equity Method Investments for $6,500.
