Equity Method 2 - Fall 2018 Q24
Hi Graham,
I know the calculations in most of the past exams are now outdated, but I stumbled across the following and was wondering if this method of calculating Equity is still valid (since it looks very similar to Method 2 in the wiki)?
- Equity(x) = Equity(x-1) + NI(x) + Change in AOCI
If not, why?
Comments
Its exactly method 2 - yeah it is still valid
For Method 2, we have:
E(x) = E(x-1) + CI(x)
CI(x) = NI(x) + OCI(x)
does this mean OCI(x) = change in AOCI?
is there any context that explains this?
That's right. OCI(X) = AOCI(X) - AOCI(X-1). The change in other comprehensive income is simply the difference between the accumulated other comprehensive income in one period vs the prior period
